| Summary: | Systematic research of the ornithofauna of the Natural Monument "Lalinačka slatina" salt marsh has not been conducted so far, and data on some species of salt marsh birds are given only in the conservation study of this area. The first systematic surveys of ornithofauna were conducted in the period 2020-2021 with an emphasis on the nesting period of most species. The collected data were combined with data from the conservation study and indicated the presence of 72 bird species from 24 families and 12 orders. Migratory statuses have shown that the area is dominated by nesting birds, as many as 42 species have been recorded, as well as 24 species of strays, 5 species of wintering birds and 1 passer-by. Most of the bird species found in the "Lalinačka slatina" area are included in the various national and international lists, and are important considering the aspect of protection since they are endangered and rare. |
