Alphabet of our nature

Toward

The first autumn the letter is the letter K, which we find in science manuals wealth of species in our fauna. From ducks, krkavcovitych, Citrine, to owl, cuckoo, Cana, sparrow, linnet, plover, Eurasian partridge, curve, Spoonbill and scythe. Of mammals is particularly chamois, kuna, a mole, hamster, rabbit and cat wild. Finally, I lived to see the letters, where you can choose from dozens of animals, which I write.

Buzzard
Latin Buteo buteo is one of the more common in our year-round occurring predators. Medium-sized bird with a wingspan of over one meter in our territory occurs in several color variations. Buzzard is also among the most variable species. Shades of light and dark subjects can be seen at first sight, especially in winter months, when one field can be traced several birds at once. It is on the stubble, jetelistich and meadows, where the abundance of voles Field, the associates in autumn and winter and the largest number of ning. Cana, it is not too good hunter, so he focuses exclusively on small rodents, which is able to catch and overpower. Its claws are short, thick and usually blunt. Let plachtivy,compared to other predators is relatively cumbersome, slow and clumsy. Usually seek their prey in open country, the snow-covered fields and meadows. The perch, where he waits for a hole to get out of the field vole, can sit a few minutes. PPS who wait, that usually end up being, then jump or splachtenim of krtince, shrubs and tree branches caught voles. Unless voles, buzzards can be seen on the roads, consuming a variety of carrion. Buzzard is one of the useful predators and helping farmers dispose of overpopulation voles. Consequently, some landlords installed on their fields and meadows for the buzzards so-called fake. Strictly speaking - it is a wooden, about one meter high odsedavky in the shape of the capital letter T.These predators in popular bench serves as a handy lookout especially for buzzards, which of them better and more effectively hunt voles. Less voles in the field also means fewer holes and fewer losses to crops.

Cuckoo
For the time of our ancestors relatively abundant species from each ozyvajici Remizku woods. Otherwise draft and very interesting bird, remarkable particularly for its vocal expression. Who does not know the typical cuckoo coop, which we often hear in the spring months today. Less known is the fact that the cuckoo is in order lelkovitych and thus is related lelku forest. More interesting is that he does not put the cuckoo's nest, and lays her eggs in the nests of other birds. They are usually a variety of singers such as Charlie.They become guardians unwanted foreign chick, losing their clutch and chicks and feed the cuckoo in the nest several times larger than themselves. Well nature is nature and the cuckoo chicks to do with outsourcing absolutely no worries.

Chamois
In this country, relatively less known type of mountain goat. Typical herbivore, tied to mountain areas, saddles and ridges. Chamois are very well adapted to travel on gravel and rocky terrain. Move mostly in groups and where they are not accustomed to tourism rarely see. In the literature I read that in our chamois found in Jesenikach and Lusatian mountains, where even they were carving. The Slovak our neighbors we can see quite frequently, and almost everywhere.Personally, I have met in the Western Tatras hike along the ridges, where we crossed the road and where, according to manure and feet stay put pretty well traced. We saw only a few chamois leather in Beskydskych Salas, but where and when I have not been caught.

Marten
Dark brown, agile beast with a white bib in recent years frequently inhabits urban agglomerations and installation. Who does not know the terror of poultry farmers, but now and motorists cottagers. Perhaps we meet it absolutely everywhere and is a prime example of how the wild species adapt to changes in the operational landscape and nature. Soils homes, hot water collectors, insecure roofs, insulation between the rafters and roof tiles,zabordelarene various sheds, garages, warehouses and ruins, in the winter warm engines of parked cars and heated panelakove Cellars - all are places that offer kuna and which contribute to their numbers. Add to this mess still around bins ubiquitous remnants of food, rats, mice and urban pigeons - an ideal environment for the Kuna, a table set with a paradise on earth. Little wonder, then, that after dark we roam the streets, in cars nibble jumper cables, roof insulation cup, procuravaji plasterboard ceilings, poultry and destroyed during mating crazed screams waking our children. Annually solve dozens of cases where people are turning to us to help them KUNU from their homes at least to evict.Every year we answer dozens of questions, how to protect against damage done by Kuna defend. Unfortunately we are unable to meet because martens are not stupid, you can not catch, do not work against them, or human hair, dog hair, bear or lion droppings. Absolutely not working or electronic plasic, firecrackers, flashing lights, a radio and similar ideas. The only thing that works is a mechanical security approaches, various woven barriers, tidy, secure land, loss of premises and places. And most importantly - try to limit food options. In the natural system through the regulation of various diseases and the virus diseases.

Next letter L. Swan, goatsucker, Pipit, Kite, Coot, Northern Shoveler, fox.
Again, another letter in which I can really enjoy themselves.
