Spring and summer are already irretrievably gone, and nature begins reign autumn. Whether we want to or not, for a second winter, and slowly but surely ending the season this year.

Along with the season ending for many species of wild birds nesting period, vyvadeni and rearing offspring. Us at the station I work with fewer pups, and I would like to share with you about the fact that this year from this point of view actually was.

Spring was marked by the avian flu, media us afraid catastrophic scenario, mad poultry farmers and the public get the vaccine or medication. Finally, the horror, however, expectations have not for a wild bird species were much more dangerous bad cold and rainy weather. The total lack of food, winter at the time of hatching chicks, relentless rain, etc., decimovali populations of each species. Numbers vyvedenych pups were so low that even you can not remember worse Witnesses nesting season. The problems were as predators,and certain types of owls, but also lednacci, Capi, Rackova, heronry and perhaps all types of small birds. Despite the fact that in nature an unsuccessful nesting season does not mean nothing, of which we were quite surprised uncomfortable. Then came summer. Almost from day to day temperatures rose above 30C, and a lot of those who attempted a second, alternative nesting, they once again bad luck and trouble. The number of nest Capu white freshly hatched chicks could not survive tropical heat and literally to bake. Problems with vyvadenim pups have also waterfowl nevzletnymi times remain with the young, particularly the wetlands, virtually without water. Just added a potrzeno, this season too wild animals did not. Not occupied nests,successfully vysezenych eggs year-round and continued lack of food is also reflected in our adoption this year. It was difficult to find substitute families where they would be accidental orphans or chicks raised in captivity place. Finally, but everything turned out well, so I will be happy to introduce at least some of the successful adoption programs.
