Proact Slovakia and Green Tourism in 2002 - Birders Alert
And where are you taking your partner and the children on holiday this
year?
Having reached a successful interim stage in the Slovak Karst it would
be a shame not to build on this and encourage soft tourism and
eco-development of the area.
Last year we sent out mails recommending birding holidays in the Slovak
Karst. The conservation NGO SOSNA, which also promotes traditional
customs, handicrafts and chemical-free farming has geared up its
activity in this direction in 2002. up a few notches this year. The best
time for birders to visit would be the end of May.
Bird species include Rock Bunting (Emberiza cia), Rock Thrush (Monticola
saxatilis), Barred Warbler (Sylvia nisoria), Imperial Eagle (Aquila
heliaca) , Saker Falcon (Falco cherrug) and, on and around the nearby
Turna or Hrhov fishponds, Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea), Great Reed Warbler
(Acrocephalus arundinaceus), Savi's Warbler (Locustella luscinioides),
etc.
In the oak and beech forests Collared Flycatcher (Ficedula albicollis),
Red-breasted Flycatcher (Ficedula parva) (Ficedula parva), Middle
spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos medius), White-backed Woodpecker
(Dendrocopos leucotos), Grey-headed Woodpecker (Picus canus) and Black
Woodpecker (Dryocopus martius) are to be found.
