K hniezdnemu výskytu kôrovníka krátkoprstého (Certhia brachydactyla) v lesoch západnej časti Cerovej vrchoviny (južné Slovensko) On breeding occurence of Short-toed Treecreeper (Certhia brachydactyla) in forests of the western part of the Cerová vrchovina Mts. (S Slovakia) Marian MOJŽIŠ & Benjamín JARČUŠKA Školská 211, 98531 Mučín, Slovensko; e-mail: m.mojzis76@gmail.com Ústav ekológie lesa SAV, Ľ. Štúra 2, 960 53 Zvolen, Slovensko Abstract. Mapping of breeding territories of Short-toed Treecreeper (Certhia brachydactyla) took place in the forests of the western part of Cerová vrchovina in 2017. Of the total area (61 km²), forests account for 36.6 km². The species has only been registered in oak forests and mixed deciduous forests with oaks aged 60 years and older. Those stands covered 32% (11.54 km²) of the total forest area in the study area. In total, 47 Short-toed Treecreeper territories were found. Breeding density was 1.28 p./100 ha of the total forest area. The local density varied between 0.5–4.2 p./10 ha, on average 1.4 p./10 ha. The local breeding density of species breeding territories was positively associated with stand age (R2 = 0.19, P = 0.003). Sympatric occurrence with Eurasian Treecreeper (C. familiaris) was also mapped at breeding sites occupied by Short-toed Treecreeper. The breeding territories of the Short-toed Treecreeper overlapped with the breeding areas of the Eurasian Treecreeper at 30 sites (in which 31 Eurasian Treecreeper territories have been registered), i.e. in 66.7% of the sites occupied by Short-toed Treecreeper. Eurasian Treecreeper is more numerous in the woods of the study area than Short-toed Treecreeper.

The current update of conservation status of the species in the country considers data collected from 2003 until 2019. Results show that the species population consists of 48–54 breeding pairs. Such trend demonstrates moderate increase of population. The annual breeding success measured as fledglings per occupied nest was also increased from 71% in 2003 to 79% in 2019. Current threats are related to direct tracing down for trophy or to domesticate as pet. One of possible paths of domestication can be related to catching of the birds, which have been poisoned by heavy metals at municipal dumps or by use of Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The proposed conservation measures include (1) change in trophy policy and captive breeding, particularly meaning listing down all existing specimens and introduction of obligatory procedure of issuing a certificate of origin for each new specimen; (2) stricter penalization for illegal shooting or trapping; (3) strengthening of inspection body to improve control; (4) improving public outreach aimed at raising the value of this species; (5) study of application of Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in livestock husbandry; (6) improving waste management. These measures should be accompanied by species’ monitoring. Key words: Griffon Vulture, Gyps fulvus, Armenia, conservation status, population dynamics, threats Prvé

Abstract. The first breeding of the Whooper Swan (Cygnus cygnus) in Slovakia was documented in 2019 on the water reservoir Glabušovce (southern Slovakia). The nest was located in the cattail (Typha sp.) Minimum four eggs were laid and two chicks hatched. This breeding in Ipeľ river catchment may be the result of the increase of European population as well the species bred in the neighbouring Ipoly – Völgye Special protection area, where this species start to breed in 2005 and already two pairs bred in 2018.

First documented and successful breeding of the Western Yellow Wagtail (Motacilla flava thunbergi) was documented in an abandoned field near Piešťany in western Slovakia in June–July 2016. Altogether four nestlings fledged on July 5, 2016. Breeding and all the observations of Motacilla flava in the study area are described.

A pair of Red Kite (Milvus milvus) bred successfully in the Ipeľ Hills (Ipeľská pahorkatina), Southern Slovakia in 2019. One young fledged, two eggs remained unhatched in the nest. Two Red Kites were observed in this area already in breeding season 2018. It is the first confirmed breeding of Red Kites in this part of western Slovakia.

Štúra 2, 960 53 Zvolen, Slovensko Abstract. Recently, the breeding sites of Greylag Goose have been increasing in number both within Europe and in Slovakia. Due to positive population and distribution trend, Greylag Goose started breeding for the first time also in the Protected area Levické rybníky – The fish ponds near Levice, southwestern Slovakia, Central Europe. The first breeding of this species in the area was recorded on May 3, 2017 when a female with three goslings was observed. These geese were repeatedly observed on July 7 and July 8, 2017. Three adults of Greylag Goose were recorded on April 16, 2018, and breeding was proved by observation of three goslings in July 2018. Further breeding record was made on April 13, and assessed more precisely on April 14, 2019 when two breeding pairs of Greylag Goose with three and four chicks were noticed. Goslings were seen for the last time on April 21, 2019 and, possibly, predated. Another three pairs without chicks were also observed over the breeding season of 2019. Greylag Goose repeatedly bred on the same pond with well-developed littoral vegetation.

Melanism in animals is the most frequent anomalous coloration and it is caused by melanins, influenced by different genes. The number of records of melanistic individuals in birds has been increasing in the last decades. One melanistic individual of Great Tit (Parus major) was recorded at a feeding site in Bratislava, Western Slovakia on November 11 and December 14, 2019. The head of this individual was black without the contrastingly white patches on cheeks and ear-coverts characteristic of the species, whereas it only showed small paler patches in the area of ears. Black ventral stripe was broader than usual. The rest of the body did not show any other color aberrations. Mechanisms driving melanism and examples of melanism in birds are discussed.

In 2018, 84 ringers ringed altogether 58,542 birds, of them 5,381 were nestlings. That number was 4.07% (2,291) higher compare to 2017. The ringed birds belonged to 149 species. The most numerous ringed species were Great Tit (Parus major, 7,084 individuals), Blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla, 6,976 ind.), Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica, 5,913 ind.), European robin (Erithacus rubecula, 3,920 ind.), Blue Tit (Cyanistes caeruleus, 3,899 ind.). The colour ringed schemes in Slovakia are given. Alltogether 523 abroad recoveries were registered, out of them were 191 individuals re-trapped in Slovakia and ringed abroad, 332 idividuals ringed in Slovakia re-trapped abroad.
