Status y distribución del Charrán común (Sterna hirundo) en el Archipiélago canario

Abstract

The status and distribution of Common Tern (Sterna hirunda) population in the Canary Islands have been determined as a result of a census conducted during 1987. It has been found breeding on practically all the major islands but with only a few pairs on ench El Hierro is the most important, harbouring 12-15 pairs, followed by La Gomera and La Palma, each with 10-13 pairs. However, nesting has not been confirmed on Lanzarote and the eastern islets. The total breeding population of the Common Tern in the Archipelago has been estimated to comprise 38-51 pairs. This figure indicates that the species has suffered a server decline since the middle of the last century. Furthermore, it seems that the present day population is localized on small rock stacks of the western islands, while in the past the species used to breed on sandy beaches in the eastera islands (Fuerteventura and Gran Canaria).

Un censo efectuado en 1987 permite evaluar el estatus y distribución de las poblaciones de Charrán común (Sterna hirundo) en el archipiélago canario. Se encuentran repartidas en la mayoría de las islas, presentando efectivos muy reducidos en cada una de ellas, destacando La Gomera y La Palma con 10-13 parejas respectivamente y El Hierro con 12-15. En Lanzarote y los islotes orientales no se confirmó la reproducción. La estimación de la población en el archipiélago es de 38-51 parejas. Comparando las referencia bibliográficas con los datos obtenidos, parece evidente que las poblaciones de Charrán común han sufrido una notable regresión. Actualmente el grueso de los efectivos se localizan en pequeños roques costeros de las islas más occidentales, contrariamente a lo que sucedía en el pasado, donde la especie críaba en grandes números en playas arenosas de islas centro-orientales.

Agradecer a la Dirección General del Medio Ambiente y Conservación de la Naturaleza del Gobierno de Canarias por haber subvencionado el proyecto.
