Bird migration is quite intense

Rare and endangered birds have returned to the Dnipro-Orel Nature Reserve in the Dnipro region. They were spotted by scientists during research in the Obukhiv floodplain and on the Taromske escarpment.

This was reported on the Facebook page of the Dnipro-Orel Nature Reserve.

"In our forests, finches, song thrushes, goldfinches, shepherds, white-necked flycatchers, and other forest birds are already singing in full swing," the reserve reports.

Scientists note that the migration of birds through the reserve is quite intense. During the survey, a significant number of mallards, great and small teals, black grouse of various species, swans, terns and other birds were recorded.

"Gogol has already moved on from the reserve, but I was very pleased with the appearance of the cinderella, which, although not listed in the Red Book of Ukraine, has negative population trends on a European and global scale," the post says.

In addition, a whole group of white-eyed blacks, which are included in the Red Book of Ukraine, returned and began to occupy the territory. The reserve reported that after the flood in the fall of 2023, these birds were not observed in the reserve.

As EcoPolitic previously reported, on the territory of the Chornobyl Nature Reserve, not far from Lubyanka, a large predatory mammal – the jackal, was recorded.
