^apljica Ixobrychus minutus
Little Bittern – somewhat late observation of 1
individual at Velo blato on Pag Island (UTM WK01,
N Dalmatia) on 17 Sep 2003
Dne 17.9.2003 sem na otoku Pagu obiskal Velo blato. @e ob
prihodu sem od dale~ opazil nad vodo letajo~ega ribjega orla
Pandion haliaetus ter samico in drugoletnega samca rjavega
lunja Circus aeruginosus. Ribji orel je sicer redek obiskovalec
Dalmacije [Rucner, D. (1998): Ptice hrvatske obale
Jadrana. – Hrvatski prirodoslovni muzej, Ministarstvo
razvitka i obnove, Zagreb]. Po plitvi vodi so brodile sive
Ardea cinerea in velike bele ~aplje Egretta alba, obmo~je pa
so preletavali pritlikavi kormorani Phalacrocorax pygmeus.
Na obre`ju sem opazoval kup~arje Oenanthe oenanthe,
repalj{~ice Saxicola rubetra, tamariskovke Acrocephalus
melanopogon, rjave cipe Anthus campestris in belo~elega
de`evnika Charadrius alexandrinus. Iz enega v drug sestoj
trsti~ja se je spreletela ~apljica. Podatek se mi zdi zanimiv
zaradi slab{ega poznavanja njene raz{irjenosti v
poznopoletnem ~asu. Rucner (1998) je omejil obdobje
njenega pojavljanja med aprilom in junijem. Kasneje je bila
manjkrat opazovana, dan 29.9. pa omenja kot zelo pozni
datum.

White Stork Ciconia ciconia
Bela {torklja – dva redka zimska podatka iz osrednje
Hrva{ke: (1) 23.12.2003 osebek opazovan na
smeti{~u Jaku{evac pri Zagrebu (UTM WL77), (2)
10.1.2004 2 osebka opazovana na Dragani}kih
ribnikih (UTM WL44)
On 23 Dec 2003, I was carrying out my regular monitoring
of birds present at Jaku{evec rubbish dump near Zagreb.
Just in front of the rubbish dump gate, I noticed a White
Stork chased by a Rook Corvus frugilegus. On 10 Jan 2004,
I was counting aquatic birds on Dragani}i fishponds. It was
a foggy day and the fishponds were frozen over. While
counting herons standing on ice, we spotted 2 White Storks
– in addition to 68 Great White Egrets Egretta alba and 50
Grey Herons Ardea cinerea.

Whooper Swan Cygnus cygnus
Labod pevec – redko opazovanje na Hrva{kem; dne
8.1.2004 je bil opazovan mladostni osebek v dru`bi
200 labodov grbcev Cygnus olor na jezeru Jarun pri
Zagrebu (UTM WL77, osrednja Hrva{ka)
In the night of 8 Jan 2004, I was walking around Lake Jarun
near Zagreb. There were some 200 Mute Swans Cygnus olor,
100 Mallards Anas platyrhynchos, 70 Black-headed Gulls Larus
ridibundus and 70 Coots Fulica atra feeding actively along the
bank. I spotted some swans with neck-collars. There were at
least 3 Mute Swans from Poland, 3 from Hungary, 1 from
Slovakia and 3 wearing Croatian rings. I also noticed a juvenile
Whooper Swan swimming between the Mute Swans. Two
days later I returned to the lake with two of my colleagues and
we caught it. The swan was ringed and released. It was the first
Whooper Swan ever ringed in Croatia. In the last 20 years, the
Whooper Swan has been a rare visitor to Croatia [Kralj, J.

Kragulji orel Hieraaetus fasciatus
Bonelli’s Eagle – an adult observed on 30 Apr 1999
on Mt. Sv. Ilija on Pelje{ac Peninsula (960 m a.s.l.,
UTM XH76, S Dalmatia) 
Pred odhodom na Pelje{ac me je Borut Rubini~ opozoril, da
je obisk 960 metrov visokega skalnega masiva Sv. Ilija na
vzhodu tega polotoka ornitolo{ko zelo zanimiv. Nanj sva se
s Katarino Denac povzpela 30.4.1999. Med vzpenjanjem
sva zagledala dokaj veliko ujedo, z dolgimi in {irokimi
perutmi, ve~jo od kanje, ki je v polkrogu priletela izza skal
in se nama bli`ala. Pozornej{e opazovanje nama je razkrilo,
da je po spodnji strani precej svetla. Kmalu sva opazila tudi
~rno progo na spodnji strani peruti ter prav tako izrazito
~rno »karpalno pego«, ki je bila {e bolj izrazita kot na primer
pri ribjem orlu. Po teh znakih sva ugotovila, da gre za
odraslega kraguljega orla. Orel je nad pobo~jem zakro`il in
kmalu odletel v prvotni smeri. Sicer pa je to vrsta s tipi~no
mediteransko raz{irjenostjo v zahodnem Palearktiku.
Ustrezajo mu vro~i in suhi predeli, pri lovu pa je uspe{en
tako v polpu{~avah kot v garigi in makiji [Snow, D.W. &
Perrins, C.M. (1998): The Birds of the Western Palearctic.
– Oxford University Press, Oxford]. Na Hrva{kem je zelo
redka vrsta, opazovana vsega desetkrat v Primorju in
Dalmaciji. Zelo verjetno redko gnezdi v hrva{kem severnem
Primorju, na Krku, v Paklenici in na reki Krki [Kralj, J.
(1997): Ornitofauna Hrvatske tijekom posljednjih dvjesto
godina. – Larus 46: 1–112]. Zanimivo bi bilo ugotoviti, ali
ne gnezdi morda tudi kje v ju`nem Primorju. Upo{tevaje
njegove ekolo{ke zahteve bi bilo to povsem mo`no.
