Abstract. Breeding success in Montagu’s Harrier (Circus pygargus) was studied in peat bogs of southeastern Poland during the period 1996-2002. Harriers nested only in the area covered with great fen sedge Cladium mariscus. The studied Harriers laid from 1 to 6 eggs, on average: 4.09 eggs (n =118).
With the progression of the season, no significant decline in clutch size was recorded. The highest values of clutch size were found for pairs nesting in five nest aggregations. Harriers fledged on average 2.49 young per nest and 1.46 young per breeding pair. Early clutches in semicolonies were larger than later ones. Aggregations of five and four nests were found „optimal” in terms of clutch size, total loss and fledgeling success. The results of the study agree with the hypothesis that reproductive success may be highest at intermediate colony size.

Santrauka
Per 1996–2002 metų laikotarpį buvo tirtos pievinės lingės (Circus pygargus), perinčios durpingose pelkėse pietryčių Lenkijoje. Stebėti paukščiai lizdams sukti rinkosi vietas apaugusias Cladium mariscus, kur išperėdavo nuo 1 iki 6 kiaušinių (vidutiniškai 4,09 kiaušinius (n =118)).
Perėjimo sezono metu, statistiškai reikšmingo kiaušinių skaičiaus dėtyje sumažėjimo pastebėta nebuvo. Daugiausiai kiaušinių išperėdavo poros, kurios susiburdavo į penkių lizdų kolonijas. Vidutiniškai vienam lingių lizdui teko 2,49 išperėti jaunikliai, o viena paukščių pora 1.46 jaunikliai. Mažose kolonijose ankstesnės dėtys buvo didesnės negu vėlesnės. Mažiausiai bendrų nuostolių patiriama keturių ir penkių lizdų kolonijose, kuriose taip pat susidaro palankiausios sąlygos kiaušinių perėjimui ir jauniklių auginimui. Šio tyrimo resultatai patvirtina hipotezę, kad reprodukcija yra sėkmingiausia vidutinio dydžio kolonijose.
