Abstract:

In total, 459 nests of the Reed Warbler were found in littoral stands of fishponds in the Protected Landscape Area Třebońsko (Czech Republic) in 1997-1998. 10 breeding site characteristics were obtained from most nests, and the fate of the nests was followed. Reed Warblers slightly preferred cattail to reed for nest building, but there were no differences in the number of successful and unsuccessful nests in these two vegetation types. Nest height above surface correlated significantly with the water depth, the old vegetation height, and the average reed stem diameter. It also rose slightly in the course of the breeding season. Reed stem thickness and reed density were significantly greater at nests than those in random samples in the reed vegetation. The clutch size decreased throughout the breeding season. Successful nests were situated closer to the open water than predated ones. The proportion of parasitized nests was greater in reed clumps than in homogeneous vegetation. Nests with direct nest view and those closer to trees were more parasitized by the Cuckoo.
