Description
| - A bird census was carried out on a study plot along the lower reaches of the River Dyje in South Moravia (Czech Republic) comprising 200 visits distributed homogeneously between seasons from 1986 to 1998. A forest habitat preference index was suggested and estimated for each species as FHP = dr(F)/(d(F) + d(O)), where d(F) is the density of a bird species in forest (woodland) habitats, and d(O) is the density of the species in all other habitats. Thirty-seven species with the mean annual FHP values higher than 0.50 were regarded arbitrarily as 'forest' birds preferring woodland over non-forest habitats (e.g., Aegithalos caudatus, Certhia brachydactyla, Coccothraustes coccothraustes, Columba oenas, Dendrocopos major, D. medius, D. minor, Dryocomis martins, Erithacus rubecula, Ficedula albicollis, Fringilla coelebs, Garrulus glandarius, Hippolais icterina, Muscicapa striata, Parus caeruleus. P. major, P. palustris, Phylloscopus collybita. P. sibilatrix, P. trochilus, Sitta europaea. Sylvia atricapilla,
