Threats and the active protection of birds in a riverbed: postulates for the strategy of the preservation of the middle Vistula River avifauna by Dariusz Bukaciński, Monika Bukacińska, Arkadiusz Buczyński

“…While in 1985-1994 the main risks for their breeding were found to be flood waters, predation by the hooded crow Corvus corone cornix and the Eurasian magpie Pica pica, as well as, locally, uncontrolled livestock grazing, in 2005-2014 they were primarily predation pressure from the American mink Neovision vision and the red fox Vulpes vulpes and massive outbreaks of black flies Simuliidae. These threats led to a reproductive outcome of nearly zero and increased the mortality of adults in their breeding areas. …”
