R421-15 to 421-31 and R422-92 to 422-94-1). Likewise, management operations were performed in accordance with the same accreditations. Capture, handling and marking were performed by qualified persons, under the authorization #800 delivered by the Centre de Recherches sur la Biologie des Populations d’Oiseaux (Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris). We hence confirm that all applicable international, national and/or institutional guidelines for the care and use of animals were followed.
