Project Management Board Meeting, Advisory Workshop and Conference - all these events we have experienced during last week. On the 17 - 18 October, the fourth Project  Board Meeting took place in Gyöngyös, Hungary. During the meeting, the representatives of the project partners meet in person to discuss the project progress, results, and next  steps that are planned to ensure the successful project implementation.

In September, a team from the Bulgarian Society for the Protection of Birds (BSPB), in collaboration with Electrodistribution Grid West ЕAD and Stefania Kamenova from the National Museum of Natural History at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Sofia, successfully collected samples from occupied nests of European Rollers (Coracias garrulus) for an upcoming study and analysis of the food spectrum of this attractive species. This activity is carried out within the framework of the LIFE Danube Free Sky project.

Damyan Petkov 1Tracking individuals of various bird species by satellite or radio telemetry has yielded many valuable insights. This year, six juvenile Saker Falcon chicks in southern Slovakia were tagged with satellite transmitters, which will provide up-to-date information on their location. Click on the Read More button and watch a short video directly from the installation! Using this method, where the movements of individuals can be tracked essentially continuously in an online environment, we can get unique data on movements, hunting territories, migration routes, as well as the dangers that mostly juveniles have to face.

Damyan Petkov 1Power lines form an unnatural barrier in the landscape and an obstacle for many species of animals. However, wild birds are the most affected by their presence. Flying birds are at risk of striking power lines that they do not notice in time. Birds of prey, in particular, like to use the 22 kV power poles as a resting place or to hunt for prey. But what happens when they connect two wires when they land? How can we prevent this and protect them?
