Winter density and habitat preferences of three declining granivorous farmland birds: The importance of keeping of poultry and dairy farms

Original language description

Populations of granivorous farmland birds have dramatically declined during recent decades in many European countries. Winter conditions and consequently, survival rates of farmland bird species during this critical period, are considered as one of the main causes of this negative trend. However, the importance of different habitat structures and connected food sources for successful overwintering in bird species has gained little attention so far in the Czech Republic. In this study we aimed to examinethe role of habitat composition and food availability on winter distribution and abundance of three declining sedentary and granivorous bird species. During the winters 2009-2014, 149 villages in the Czech Republic were monitored for distribution and density of three farmland seed-eaters. House Sparrow was the most dominant species (88.6% of villages occupied; 4.32 +- 4.67 ind./100 m of transect), followed by Tree Sparrow (67.1% villages occupied; 1.83 +- 3.53 ind./100 m of transect) an
