Mass-independent BMR (body mass: Fj, 218 = 83.1.2, p < 0.0001) did not change between years but varied within winter (month: F6j2\ = 6.1, p < 0.0001, figurę 1.3A). BMR progressively increased by 5.9% between October and February (Tukey: p < 0.05) and then decreased by 5.5% between February and March (Tukey: p < 0.0001).

As for BMR, mass-independent Msum (body mass: Fi, 204 = 97.6, p< 0.0001) did not differ between years but varied within winter (month: F6i 270 = 37.1, p < 0.0001). Average Msum increased by 25.0% between October and February and weakly decreased by 5.2% between February and March. However, the month effect also depended on the year (year*month: ^3,266= 10.0, p <0.0001). Separated analyses by year showed that the Msum peak observed in February was only apparent in 2010, where it reached a value 31.9% higher than our intra-seasonal reference point in October, before declining by 13.3% between February and March (Tukey: p < 0.01). During the second year, mass-independent Msum increased steadily throughout winter to reach a peak in March with a value +20.7% higher than that measured in October (Tukey: p < 0.0001) (figurę 1.3B).

Mass-independent winter metabolic expansibility (body mass: F)t i56 = 8.2, p < 0.01) varied with month (F6t2si = 18.3, p < 0.0001), with average mass-independent ME increasing by 19.8% between October and March. However, the month effect was also dependent on the year (year*month: F3,253 = 4.9, p < 0.01). Separated analyses revealed that during the first year, mass-independent ME reachcd a peak (6.5 x BMR) in February (+27.0% relative to October 2011) before decreasing non-significantly in March (-2.6%, Tukey: p = 0.8). During the second year, mass-independent ME reached its highest value (6.2 x BMR) in March (+19.6% relative to October, Tukey: p < 0.0001) (figurę 1.3C).

For all metabolic parameters, visual inspection of predicted values for recaptured individuals showed a high level of variability between birds but consistency in their position relative to others (i.e. there wcre “high” and “Iow” BMR/Msum individuals). Individual pattems were comparable to that observed at the population level (figurę 1.3).
