In many bird species, successful breeders remain faithful to their previous nesting sites, benefiting from site familiarity and increased reproductive success. Differences between males and females in movements and breeding effort offer an opportunity to explore sex-specific effects on site fidelity and reproductive success. This study examined whether the decision of Common Kingfishers Alcedo atthis to disperse from or remain at a previous breeding location depends on past breeding success.
