Vogelberingung / Bird ringing
Die Vogelberingungsstation der St. Martins Therme & Lodge im östlichsten Österreich wurde im Mai 2015 gestartet. Sie ist als ganzjährige Station ausgelegt, deren Schwerpunkt zur Brutsaison auf Populationsmonitoring von Singvögeln (IMS) liegt. Wir fangen mit 84 m Japannetzen in einem Feldgehölz inmitten intensiv genutzter Ackerlandschaft, im Gemeindegebiet von Frauenkirchen (Burgenland). Neben dem wissenschaftlichen Auftrag verstehen wir uns auch als ökopädagogische Einrichtung: Besuchen Sie die Beringungsstation der St. Martins Therme & Lodge im Rahmen einer geführten Tour.
The bird ringing station nearby the St. Martins Spa &
Lodge in far eastern Austria was started in May 2015. It was designed as a year-round constant effort site with 84 m of mist nets to monitor bird population dynamics, breeding success of
resident songbirds, phenology of migrants and changes in species composition in a thicket within intensive agricultural landscape.
The station can be visited exclusively as part of St. Martins' guided nature tours.
