PragueCompared to most European metropolitan areas Prague is quite green with abandoned slopes and a large variety of biotopes that can be hardly found in other towns. Perhaps as a result of hunting in the past rural areas have virtually no crows and none are breeding (zero pairs!) in Prague (500 km2). What a difference in comparison with cities abroad. However, the population of magpies is dramatically increasing in the last 3-5 years. On the other hand I estimate about 250 pairs of kestrels that breed mainly in the central area. Kestrels may not be surprising, but what about 100 pairs of sparrowhawks breeding in this area (70-90 pairs in the central 220 km2). Many people visit Prague because you can close observe nests of sparrowhawks that are quite unafraid of man. Peregrines have unfortunately disappeared from Prague, but in the parks buzzards are breeding more and more toward the city centre. During breeding they hunt in parks being hidden under canopy. We know this because some of them are equipped with radio transmitters. Also one or two eagle owls are breeding within the city limits of Greater Prague. More details about other species (breeding cranes, wintering rooks etc.) on the following website: http://www.peske.wz.cz

Nasi ptacihttp://www.mujweb.cz/www/ptaci/Při letním putování v okolí Dačic jsme na polní cestě mezi lány obilí začali počítat ?uhýky obecné. Asi na 1,5 km úvozové cesty s roztroušenými převážně trnkovými keři jsme zaznamenali 5 párů. Nebylo to příliš obtížné, protože ?uhýci, jak je pro ně typické, většinou posedávali na vrcholcích keřů a silnějších bylin a byli tedy dobře viditelní. Při vyrušení odlétali postupně dále po cestě a potom se obloukem vraceli na původní místo (ke hnízdu s mláďaty). VCPCSOhttp://www.vcpcso.czCzech Society for Ornithology - branch east
