Occurrence description
Buiten broedtijd
Langs de kusten van (vooral) Noordzee en (in mindere mate) Waddenzee trekt de Kleine Jager door van half juli tot half november, met de piek tussen half augustus en begin oktober. Op dagen met harde aanlandige wind gaat het soms om honderden vogels. Waarnemingen in de rest van het jaar zijn zeldzaam, al worden Kleine Jagers vooral in Noord-Holland jaarlijks in april en mei gezien. Als echte kustvogel verschijnt de Kleine Jager maar zelden in het binnenland, het meest nog na zware westerstormen in het najaar.
Birds directive
Conservation status
The Birds Directive focuses on the conservation of all naturally occurring wild bird species in Europe, including the Parasitic Jaeger.
This means that EU Member States must take measures to maintain or bring the populations of these species to a level that corresponds in particular to ecological, scientific and cultural requirements.
The Birds Directive requires Member States to maintain habitats for birds of sufficient size and quality, including through the designation of Special Protection Areas for the benefit of the European Natura 2000 network. No special protection zones have been designated for the Parasitic Jaeger in the Netherlands. The national population must be able to maintain itself at a favorable level.
What is the methodology to assess the conservation status of birds
non-breeding bird
The conservation status of the Parasitic Jaeger as non-breeding bird in the Netherlands is unfavourable (bad).
