Extremely early mowing in Nemunas Delta
leads to nearly zero breeding success.
09.07.2008:
At the beginning of June while
monitoring of Aquatic Warbler in Nemunas delta (Lithuania) intensive
moving was registered. Such early mowing took place at the AW
breeding site - Sausgalviai meadows, which are SPA (Natura2000),
established for protection of AW and Great snipe (in the area also
present Spotted crake, Corncrake). It is illegal according to the EU
Birds Directive, because the maintenance status of an SPA and a
priority species is affected. The intensification of farming
practices takes place not only in mentioned Sausgalviai meadows, but
in all AW breeding sites in Nemunas delta.
