Abstract:

The aim of this paper was: 1) to recognize the history of populating the forests of the Radom voivodeship (7294 km2) by the Black Stork, 2) to collect recent information on its distribution and numbers, and 3) to count young in nests and determine reproduction indices.In 1992—1994 the nests were checked at least 2—3 times or more during the breeding season: in the first half of April, in May—June and in July (breeding success check). In 1992—1994 13—15 Black Stork pairs were recorded in the investigated area: Kozienicka Forest (5—7) pairs, Pilica Valley (4 pairs) and other places (4—6 pairs). Density per 100 km2 of the total area has been estimated at 0.2 pair and that per 100 km2 of the forest at 0.8—0.9 pair. The greatest density was found in the Kozienicka Forest — to 2.8 pairs per 100 km2 forests — where a distance between neighbouring occupied nests varied from 2500 to 5800 m. Nests were built in oaks (56.6%), Scotch pines (30.2%), alders (9.4%), beeches and firs. In 1981—1994 75 broods were found in the study area; 70 were successful (table 1) and 5 brood failed (total losses) — 3 during incubation and 2 due to predation by the pine marten Martes martes on nestlings. In 1992—1994 85.3% of the broods were successful and produced (1981—1994) from 1 to 4 fledglings: 1 fledgling in 8.6% of the broods, 2 in 37.1%, 3 in 28.6%, and 4 in 25,7% (n = 190 fledglings). The average number of fledglings per successful pair was 2.86 (in 1981—1994 — 2.71) and that per breeding pair — 2.44. The Black Stork foraged mostly in wet meadows, near drainage ditches and fish ponds, at a distance of max. 12—13 km from the nest. The most frequent prey were fishes (pike, roach, thunder-fish, bleak and crucian carp).
