The bird-watching camp was held in the area of the Public Institution Nature Park Kopački rit, Croatia for the students of the Department of Biology. On this occasion, we marked World Migratory Bird Day and 30 years of the LIFE Programme of the European Union. The project and its activities were presented to the students, after which we observed and recorded birds with a walk along the rabbit embankment to the Sakadaš dock and a touristic ship ride in the Special Zoological Reserve.
From April 25 to 27, we presented the LIFE Danube Free Sky project at the 4th Adriatic Flyway Conference held in Zadar. The conference was attended by more than 70 participants from 13 countries. The lectures were related to the topic of illegal killing of birds, fatalities caused by electrocution and collision with power lines, and poisoning.
World Migratory Bird Day major events are held on the Second Saturday in May and in October each year. With the approaching May date, the lecture about the bird migration, its wonders, and interesting facts will be held by ornithologist Roman Slobodník from Raptor Protection of Slovakia in the University Library in Bratislava on the 11th of May.

The LIFE programme is the EU's funding instrument for the environment and climate action. It has been running since 1992 and has co-financed more than 5,500 projects across the EU and countries outside the EU. This year the LIFE turns 30. On this occasion, we will take part in Europe Day on 9 May in Bratislava, Old Market Hall,
Last year 6 saker falcons were tagged with the satellite transmitters to identify the dangerous utility poles/lines located in the home range of breeding pairs and priority habitats in Slovakia. The main finding of the present study is the fact that none of the monitored individuals survived the dispersal period.
On Friday, April 22, Earth Day is commemorated and celebrated by people all around the world. This year's theme is: Invest in Our Planet. To mark the occasion, a number of events will be organized for the participants and we are glad to be part of it!
Our project is part of an exhibition that runs from 18.3.-12.6.2022 in the Central Slovak Museum in Banská Bystrica, Slovakia. Visitors can learn about birds and power lines topics as well as the main activities of the project through exhibits, accompanying texts, and an information board. On 5.4.2022, the scientific coordinator Marek Gális also informed the visitors through a presentation and a guided lecture about our project and activities.
