Birds of Europe - description of behaviour/habits

The behavioural patterns of bird species, in particular their "social behaviour" (territorial vs. communal), are described here for their stay in EUROPE. The behaviour of migratory birds when staying elsewhere, e.g. overwintering in the southern hemisphere, may be entirely different.
