Poseta Specijalnom rezervatu prirode “Uvac” 2. septembra 2023. godine i obeležavanje Internacionalnog dana lešinara.

Svake prve subote u septembru Fondacija za zaštitu ptica grabljivica u saradnji sa Specijalnim rezervatom prirode “Uvac”, Institutom za biološka istraživanja “Siniša Stanković”, Institutom od nacionalnog značaja za Republiku Srbiju, Univerziteta u Beogradu i Turističkom organizacijom “Zlatar” tradicionalno obeležava Svetski dan zaštite lešinara. Lešinari su značajna grupa životinja koja se suočava sa nizom pretnji koje ugrožavaju i sam njihov opstanak. Populacije svih vrsta lešinara su ugrožene, a neke vrste su pred samim nestajanjem. Lešinari imaju nezamenjivu ulogu u očuvanju harmonije u prirodnim procesima razlaganja organske materije i sprečavanja širenja zaraza. Beloglavi sup je vrsta od nacionalnog značaja za Srbiju jer se njegov lik nalazi na srednjovekovnim znamenjima Srbije.

Da bi se skrenula pažnja javnosti i ukaže na značaj ove značajne grupe ptica i da bi se zaustavio proces izumiranja, na Internacionalni dan zaštite lešinara organizuje se niz obrazovnih sadržaja među kojima i posete staništima u kojima žive ove vrste.
Program mera zaštite beloglavog supa u SRP “Uvac” je najuspešniji program zaštite ove ugrožene vrste na Balkanu, koji je obezbedio neophodan resurs ove vrste za njen povratak na prostore sa kojih je iščezla na Balkanu, te je red da ovaj uspeh obeležimo u rezervatu Uvac.

Fondacija za zaštitu ptica grabljivica tradiconalno obeležava ovaj dan već više od decenije zajedno sa svojim članovima i prijateljima, organizujući prigodne obrazovne manifestacije: međunarodne konferencije na temu zaštite lešinara, izložbe, oglašavanje i reportaže u medijima, posete kolonijama beloglavih supova… Ipak trenutak koji se ne može opisati, već samo doživeti je vraćanje supova kojima je bila potrebna naša pomoć u prirodu. Ove godine tri beloglava supa će raširiti svoja krila u prisustvu učesnika ove svečanosti. Postavljeni će biti i satelitski odašiljač kako bi pratili dalju sudbinu ovih ptica.

Dobrodošli su svi koji žele svojim prisustvom da uveličaju ovu našu malu svečanost i da zajedno sa nama uživaju u ovim izuzetnim pticama u njihovom prirodnom staništu.

At the beginning of June 2023, the Birds of Prey Protection Foundation and the Institute for Biological Research “Siniša Stanković”, an Institute of national importance for the Republic of Serbia, University of Belgrade, in cooperation with JP “Rezervat Uvac” d.o.o. and experienced climbers of the Academic Speleological and Alpinist Club (ASAK) from Belgrade and the Speleological Club “Ponir” from Banja Luka successfully completed the marking of griffon vulture cubs.
Despite the bad weather conditions, a total of 19 cubs were marked in two shifts, and satellite transmitters were installed on two of them. The two cubs were too small to be marked.

The start of the action was opened by the new director of SRP “Uvac” Mr. Nikola Šaponjić.

Shots from this year’s marking

Three decades of work of the Birds of Prey Protection Foundation was celebrated in the most beautiful way. Members and friends of the Foundation visited the last refuges of indigenous populations of the black vulture and the white vulture in the Balkans. These two species have disappeared in Serbia. They visited the reserves in Greece: Dadia Forest and Delta Marice (Evros), and in Bulgaria: Studen Kladenets and Madjarevo. We were greeted by a warm welcome from our hosts, our colleagues, beautiful weather and birds. Our friend Dimitris Vasilakis tried his best to make this meeting unforgettable. In Bulgaria, our colleague Ivaylo Angelov was our lecturer and guide. We enjoyed the flight of the white vulture and the black vulture, of which there were 18 in the sky at one time. While we’re here, we couldn’t resist visiting the mouth of the Marica, which is the place with the greatest variety of birds in Europe, right after the Danube delta.

Maria is a female Griffon Vulture that we have been tracking for four years. So far we have collected as many as 25,600 GPS points, with all the data on her movement and behavior such as speed of movement, height, places where she rests, feeds, but also of her overall “Home Range”.

She has been in the monitoring program practically since hatching, when se was marked on the nest at Zlatarsko jezero, June 1, 2017. by the Foundation’s Marking team, with metal and color rings, and for easier identification on the left wing there is also a yellow-blue marker marked “06”.

Marija pre puštanja, 1.9.2018. godine

In January of the following year, she was found by an exhausted Mr. Zoran Rajičić from Čačak, so on January 24, 2018. placed in the Vulture’s Center in Uvac. When she recovered, she was equipped with a satellite transmitter and on September 1, 2018. was released during the celebration of the International Vulture Awareness Day on Uvac.

During these 4 years, Maria did not undertake long wanderings, nor did she leave Serbia, but she did fly over the territory in search of food. She is the first Vulture whose behavior we were able to track with satellite telemetry until
maturity.
