Abstract

Vjetruša (Falco tinnunculus L.) je ptica iz porodice sokolovki (Falconidae). Jedna je od najčešćih malih grabljivica u Europi koja, u usporedbi sa ostalim vrstama grabljivica, najuspješnije zauzima urbana područja. Vjetruša je stanarica u gradu Zagrebu, prisutna je u gradu kroz cijelu godinu, te se gnijezdi i u samom centru grada. Cilj ovoga rada bio je najprije locirati a zatim i analizirati položaj trenutno aktivnih gnijezda vjetruša na području grada Zagreba u sezoni gniježđenja 2017. godine. Kao osnova poznavanja rasprostranjenosti vjetruše u Zagrebu poslužio je Atlas ptica gnjezdarica grada Zagreba. Nakon provedenog terenskog istraživanja, analizirane su značajke gnjezdišta, te su pomoću GIS programa izračunate udaljenosti analiziranih gnijezda do najbližih gradskih zelenih površina koje vjetruše koriste za lov i prehranu. Ovo istraživanje dalo je uvid u izbor staništa za gniježđenje vjetruša u Zagrebu. Rezultati su pokazali da je vjetrušama od najveće važnosti pri odabiru staništa tip građevine na kojima se gnijezdi te udaljenosti gnijezda do zelenih površina unutar i izvan centra grada.

Abstract (english)

The common kestrel (Falco tinnunculus L.) is a bird species belonging to the falcon family Falconidae. It is one of the most common small birds of prey in Europe which, compared to other birds of prey, colonized cities most successfully. The common kestrel is a non-migratory bird in Zagreb, it is present trough whole year and nesting in the center of the city. The main purpose of this study was to locate and analyze the positions of currently active nests of common kestrels during the breeding season of 2017. in Zagreb. „Atlas ptica gnjezdarica grada Zagreba“ was used as the basis of knowledge about kestrels distribution in Zagreb. After field research, the characteristics of nesting sites were analyzed, then by using GIS program the distances between nesting sites and nearest urban green areas that are used for hunting and nutrition were measured. This study gave insight into the habitat preferences for nesting of kestrels in Zagreb. The results have shown that the most important characteristics for kestrel nesting are the type of building and distances between nesting sites and green areas inside and outside the city center.
