Belovrati muhar Ficedula albicollis &

Collared Flycatcher & Redstart − on 7 Jun 2006, 
during the bird census, one male Capercaillie Tetrao 
urogallus was startled from the tree at Konji{ka gora 
(UTM WM33, NE Slovenia); in an old beech forest 
on the top of the hill, two singing Collared Flycatcher 
males and two singing Redstart males were observed; 
from the observation tower, 184 Swifts Apus apus 
were counted; on the top of the hill (1,012 m a.s.l.), 
a Marsh Tit Parus palustris and a Willow Tit Parus 
montanus few metres below it were also observed, 
singing simultaneously 
 
Dne 7.6.2006 sem na ju`ni strani Konji{ke gore (SV 
Slovenija) drugi~ popisoval tetrado s koncem na vrhu 
Stolpnika. Ker sem prvo tetrado popisoval v sne`nem viharju 
v skoraj popolni pti~ji ti{ini, to pot nisem pri~akoval ni~ 
posebnega. Kljub vsemu pa sem do~akal prvo presene~enje 
`e nekje na pol poti, ko je z veje nad mano poletel spla{eni 
samec divjega petelina. Malo pod vrhom Stolpnika me je 
~akalo drugo presene~enje, saj je visoko v bukovi kro{nji 
pel pogorel~ek, meni druga~e bolj znan kot gnezdilec 
visokodebelnih sadovnjakov. [e preden sem se usedel na 
klopco na vrhu Stolpnika (1012 m n.m.v.), da bi zaklju~il 
tetrado, sem zasli{al neutrudno petje belovratega muharja. 
Kmalu sem zaznal tudi petje drugega samca, ki je pel 
nekoliko pod samim vrhom. S stolpa, ki je postavljen na 
vrhu, sem opazoval {e jato 184 hudournikov Apus apus, ki so 
se prehranjevali nad kro{njami dreves. Na poti nazaj sem na{el 
{e enega pojo~ega samca pogorel~ka. Zanimivost te tetrade 
sta bili tudi gorska sinica Parus montanus in mo~virska sinica 
Parus palustris, ki sta skupaj peli na vrhu Stolpnika. Gorska 
sinica je pela celo na ni`ji nadmorski vi{ini kot mo~virska. 
Sicer pa je bilo petje gorske sinice eno redkih petij `e med 
prvim popisom te tetrade.

Starling & Lapwing − on 26 Feb 2007 at 13.00 hrs in 
the villages of Borovci and Sobetinci (UTM WM73, 
NE Slovenia), large flocks of Starlings were observed: 
3,300 ind. at Borovci and 520 ind. together with a 
small flock of Lapwings (90 ind.) at Sobetinci
Med vo`njo iz smeri Ptuja proti Ormo`u sem v kraju Borovci 
dne 26.2.2007 ob 13 h opazil veliko jato {korcev (3,300 os.). 
[korci so tvorili zna~ilno formacijo, ki jo po zgledu lahko 
primerjamo z rojem ~ebel. Take oblike jate sem ve~krat 
opazoval, ko je jato ogro`al skobec. Skupina je ve~krat naglo 
spreminjala smer. Zanimivo je bilo, da je jati sledila jata 
prib in se tudi ve~krat pome{ala znotraj jate {korcev. Drugo, 
vendar manj{o jato sem opazil v kraju Sobetinci. V jati je 
bilo 520 {korcev in 90 prib.

Chaffinch − on 17 Mar 2006, spring migration of 
Chaffinches over a house at Dravski dvor on Dravsko 
polje (UTM WM54, NE Slovenia) was observed; 
1,533 individuals in 57 flocks ranging from one to 
100 individuals were counted; 119 Starlings Sturnus 
vulgaris, 31 Wood Pigeons Columba palumbus and 
154 Lapwings Vanellus vanellus were also counted 
during that particular day
Vsako spomlad se veselim prvih preletnikov, ki naznanjajo 
prihajajo~o pomlad. Tako sem 17.3.2006 doma opazoval 
selitev manj pri~akovane vrste. Pri~a sem namre~ bil selitvi 
{~inkavcev. Do 13. ure sem na{tel 1,533 osebkov v 57 jatah, 
ki so {tele od enega do 100 osebkov. Verjetno je tega dne 
preletelo na{o hi{o {e precej ve~ {~inkavcev, saj sem najve~je 
jate opazoval zjutraj, ko sem bil na sprehodu v gozdu, a 
takrat nisem bil pozoren na jate teh ptic. Selitev so v tem 
~asu dopolnili {e {korci Sturnus vulgaris s 119 osebki v {estih 
jatah, grivarji Columba palumbus z 31 osebki v petih jatah in 
pribe Vanellus vanellus s 154 osebki v treh jatah.

Hobby Falco subbuteo
[krjan~ar − 1 osebek opazovan na otoku Olibu (UTM 
VK81, S Dalmacija) dne 5.6.2007
A single individual of the Hobby was observed on 5 Jun 
2007, about 300 m northeast from the church located on 
the seashore in the bay of Sveti Nikola harbour on the island 
of Olib (UTM VK81). According to Rucner, Hobby is often 
seen in June along the Croatian coastline [Rucner, D. (1998): 
Ptice hrvatske obale Jadrana. − Hrvatski prirodoslovni muzej, 
Ministarstvo razvitka i obnove, Zagreb], however, there are 
no current data about this bird breeding in the area [Kralj, 
J. (1997): Ornitofauna Hrvatske tijekom posljednjih dvjesto 
godina. − Larus 46: 1−112]. In addition to Hobby, birds of 
prey observed during the days spent on Olib (29−31 May 
2007, 4−5 Jun 2007) included 2−3 Buzzards Buteo buteo
