Alphabet of our nature - S

My heart leapt with joy. Woodcock, nightingale, skylark, all the birds, which are still in our nature commonly encountered, but it does not last forever. I've already mentioned, choose the first three representatives, as to each have a story or observation.

Woodcock

Very interesting and unobtrusive bird species of our forests, something less than a partridge in a field, with a long beak, a large head, short tail and legs. Special pinzetovity beak similar mikrochirurgickym medical instruments used to her pulling worm hidden deep in the earth. Closed a long slender beak sticks in the forest litter, the upper jaw, a beak is a bit of themselves as open tip mikropean, grabs the worm, and draws nourishment from the earth without shoes she went and opened her beak at the corners. In the past, a popular fishing woodcock bird, even a legend, every good hunter (hunter) had my life to catch at least one drag. Hunting pheasants is a sign of some sort of game skill and dexterity.First it was necessary to find a snipe in the woods, and find navabit. On top is very fast and pleasure hunters always up when it almost rides, and so it was not easy on her head, let alone shoot it between the trees. Anyway, here is the woodcock with the falling of its rarity and condition for several years, particularly protected bird species which are not fish. But what is true for us, unfortunately not for some of our neighbors, and for example in France shooting pheasants for hunters prominent entertainment today. Evidence of this is also one of our interesting feedback scalloped woodcock was shot in France. 23 11th 2008 brought a colleague Vaclav Kural Wed from the village of Cold Kralovice (District Pilsen - North) injured adult woodcock.The bird had the impact on the barrier (glass), a concussion and a momentary indisposition of impact. After two days, however, improve the health status of pheasants so I got her 25th 11th Ringed in 2008 and launched on the river Berounka in Pilsen - Doubravka. I see it as today, it was all a bit of snow and uletla before, so I still managed it pretty nafotografovat (see attached photo). Then I had some misgivings about the way the bird warm lands not handle sudden change in weather and posttraumatic status. That's more then I was surprised when about a month ago I came ringing from our headquarters (the National Museum in Prague) information that our snipe shot after 383 days from the banded and release some French hunters in the area Mirisel, Somme, France.More precisely it was 785 km as the crow flies from the launch site in Pilsen.

Nightingale

One of the best singing of birds and also patron of the famous singing competition, and certainly the popular bird species champion Karel Gott. Nightingale is a bird draws bushes and ruins. Discreet size rehka bird with a rusty tail. At first sight, nothing significant, but the singing irreplaceable species. In the past, rareness, but its population at least in our western Bohemia considerably strengthened and increased.
