Acrocephalus 22 (108): 175 – 185, 2001
181
ujel en sam pti~: z Daretom [eretom sva s skupnimi mo~mi
ugotovila, da sem ujel odraslo samico {krlatca. V Sloveniji bi
naj gnezdilo 10 – 15 parov {krlatcev [Gooders, J. (1998):
Pti~i Slovenije in Evrope. MK, Ljubljana]. Po podatkih iz
Ornitolo{kih novic za obro~kovalce {t. 3 (PMS) je bilo v
Sloveniji od leta 1927 do 1998 ujetih in obro~kanih samo
46 {krlatcev. Ali {krlatec morda gnezdi na obmo~ju
Vonarskega jezera? @ivljenjski prostor je podoben tistemu z
gnezdi{~ {krlatca na Ljubljanskem barju: zamo~virjeni
travniki s kislimi travami in nizkim grmovjem, sestoje~im iz

Kvaka~ Nycticorax nycticorax 
Night Heron – 2 individuals (1st year & ad.) observed
at the reef of Mala Gatula just off the southern cape
of Bi{evo Island on May 2nd 2001 (S Dalmatia,
Croatia)
Na selitvi je mogo~e ptice opazovati na zelo razli~nih in
zanje povsem neobi~ajnih mestih. Med popisovanjem
otokov ju`ne Dalmacije sva imela s kolegom Borutom
Rubini~em ni~koliko takih sre~anj, {e zlasti na zunanjih
otokih, ki mejijo na odprto morje. Ti so prva postaja ptic, ki
se selijo prek Jadranskega morja. Dne 2.5.2001, ko sva se
zadr`evala v okolici Bi{eva, sva na skrajnem ju`nem koncu
otoka, kjer je manj{a ~er Mala Gatula, opazovala poleg
obi~ajnih morskih ptic, kot sta osebek (1) rumenonogega
galeba Larus cachinnans in osebek (1) vranjeka Phalacrocorax
aristotelis, {e nekoliko bolj nenavadne, kot sta rjava ~aplja
Ardea purpurea (1 os.) in dva (2) kvaka~a, eden prvoletni in
drugi odrasel. Kvaka~i se na bli`njem izlivu reke Neretve
pojavljajo `e konec marca, najve~ pa v aprilu [Rucner, D.
(1998): Ptice hrvatske obale Jadrana. Hrvatski prirodoslovni
muzej, Ministarstvo razvitka i obnove, Zagreb]. Opazovani
ptici sta bili glede na to verjetno zamudnika.

^rna {torklja Ciconia nigra
Black Stork – one on October 21st 1998 at Bizovac
village, Osijek; together with four Common Buzzards
Buteo buteo, the bird rose higher in the air with the aid
of warm air current and then flew away on its own
towards the south (E Croatia)
Hladnega in son~nega 21.10.1998 okoli 12.00 ure sem
opazila osebek ~rne {torklje nad vasjo Bizovac, dvajset
kilometrov zahodno od Osijeka (vzhodna Hrva{ka). Med
nekajminutnim opazovanjem je kro`ila nad njivami pri
hotelu Termia. Kmalu se je pridru`ila {tirim kanjam Buteo
buteo v termi~nem vzgorniku. Nato je odletela proti jugu in
je nisem ve~ videla. V kontinentalni Hrva{ki je ~rna {torklja
redka, a redna gnezdilka v starih hrastovih gozdovih.
Vrhunec selitve te ptice kot zna~ilne selivke je v mesecu
septembru. V vzhodni Hrva{ki jo je tako v oktobru redko
videti, saj bi morala biti `e vsaj na pol poti k svojim
prezimovali{~em v Afriki.

Shelduck Tadorna tadorna
Duplinska kozarka – samica opazovana 6.5.2001 na
~eri [ij znotraj Narodnega parka Mljet (J Dalmacija,
Hrva{ka)
Shelduck is considered not a particularly common visitor of
the coastal part of Croatia [Rucner, D. (1998): Ptice hrvatske
obale Jadrana. Hrvatski prirodoslovni muzej, Ministarstvo
razvitka i obnove, Zagreb]. For the later migration period in
the month of May, Rucner states only three observations,
i.e. for Solin, the Neretva estuary, and the Bay of Soline on
the island of Krk. Shelducks, however, have been also
registered in the vicinity of Dubrovnik and on the island of
Mljet [Kralj, J. (1997): Ornitofauna Hrvatske tijekom po-
slednjih dvjesto godina. Larus 46: 1-112]. On May 6th 2001,
the author and Borut Rubini~ carried out a survey of birds
on the islets within Mljet National Park. On the reef called
[ij (still situated within the Park) we observed a female
Shelduck. The bird was most probably still on migration,
and the open sea reefs are clearly important resting places
for this species.

Griffon Vulture Gyps fulvus
Beloglavi jastreb – med 24.10. in 28.10.2001 se je na
otoku Pagu zadr`evala skupina osmih (8) ptic: po
nekontroliranem lovu dne 28.10. so jastrebi otok Pag
zapustili. Vsakodnevni monitoring kro`e~ih belogla-
vih jastrebov je bil opravljen na povr{ini 250 km2 in
zaklju~en 1.11.2001.
Between October 24th and November 1st 2001, I carried out
a census of waterfowl at the wetlands on the island of Pag
(N Dalmatia, Croatia). Each day I also surveyed, while
driving the car and when stopping at the points with a good
view, the area between Novalja and the Pag Bridge covering
some 250 km2, with the intention of recording all the
circling Griffon Vultures Gyps fulvus on the island. Between
October 24th and 28th, the Griffon Vultures were distributed
as follows: 2-4 individuals were circling above the top and
along the slopes of Veli brig (263 m) above the town of Pag,
0-2 individuals above Sv. Ivan (148 m), 1-2 individuals
above Sv. Vid (349 m), and 2 individuals along the massif of
