Nesting preference of European Bee-eater (Merops apiaster)in conditions of South Moravia (Czech Republic)
Original language description
European Bee-eater (Merops apiaster) belongs among one of the most endangered birds of the Czech Republic. It is nesting in specific conditions with barren soil. The aim of our study was investigate all nesting colonies in conditions of South Moravia. All visited sites (36), including historical ones without birds (11), were properly described via environmental conditions. The main factor involving nesting is presence of steep slope with barren surface (with different angle of slope). Other factor is heterogeneity of surrounding landscape which fit perfectly with unique habitat of agricultural terraces. This habitat is also inhabited by other interesting bird species including Saxicola rubetra, Sylvia nisoria and Lanius excubitor. Other habitats were sand pits, former quarries and clay pits. All sites in the Czech Republic are artificial and men made only. Based on these results we would like to design conditions, which we can use for creation of other artificial nesting sites within s
