Rezultati brojanja ptica močvarica i grabljivica u najvažnijim močvarama otoka Paga
From March 27th to 30th 2016, waterbirds and raptors were counted at six saltwater and freshwater wetlands of Pag Island. In total, 803 ha were closely examined and 50 waterbird and raptor species with 2,190 individuals counted within the area. A total of 17 hours and 40 minutes (Table 1) were spent...
