Bandi exploring new frontiers
During the first months of its life (from July to October) Bandi, the first Imperial Eagle from Romania equipped with a satellite transmitter https://goo.gl/swH0p7, stayed largely in Hungary https://goo.gl/Gl1xBi. In winter he continued to make short trips to previously unknown areas, but overall he spent most of the time in habitats already well known, such as in the neighbourhood of Gyomaendrőd town in Békés County (Hungary).

In the sun again!
Seven Spur-thighed Tortoise (Testudo graeca), one Hermann’s Tortoise (Testudo hermanni) and a European Pond Turtle (Emys orbicularis) have entered in the last six months in the Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre of the Milvus Group Association and Vets4Wild. These turtles will be released into their natural habitats as soon as they recover from hibernation. Although all three species are protected by law, and capturing and possessing them is considered illegal, every year hundreds of turtles are sold especially on the online market. (more…)
Annual Report of the Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre MILVUS – 2016
Our Rehabilitation Center obtained very good results in 2016 in respect of both the number of patients and the quality of our services.
The Center has been working almost all year at full capacity, which shows that the infrastructure development in Sînsimion was necessary. (more…)
There is no increase in viper numbers in 2017!
In Romania, the reptiles (thus the vipers too) hibernate in winter, so their annual activity period is from spring to autumn. But even during this period, the observations probability differs. Often snakes use common hibernacula, and that’s why in spring they may be crowded around the entry. These are the so called viper-nests people often speak about, and this is where you can observe spousal agglomerations as well. If one sees such a crowd (which is in fact a rarity), a misconception arises that the number of vipers increased! (more…)
A pair at Dumbrăvioara!
For several weeks we paid attention to what happens in the monitored nest. Slowly but surely, the nest is being built thanks to the tireless work of the two storks who have decided to make their “home” right in front of our eyes! These two storks have no colour rings. (more…)
Arlie is home!
It took her 49 days to reach Brașov county! The Lesser Spotted Eagle began its long journey on February the 11th, crossing the Equator in early March, the Suez Canal…
The secret visitor
A colour-ringed stork visited twice the nest with the webcam. Firstly on the 20th and after that on the 27th of March. Unfortunately it spent only a couple of minutes in the nest. On the second occasion we managed to read the ring code and our suspicion was confirmed: it is a stork breeding in the neighbouring village, Glodeni. The bird was ringed in 2002, it is a male and nests in Glodeni in the same nest since 2010. We patiently wait for the developments and we are wondering, if it will move here or it is just a passing visitor? (more…)
Eight minutes visit
This is how long the first stork visit lasted at the webcam nest from Dumbrăvioara. It happened at the beginning of this week and it was just a breathing „stop” for the stork that headed towards Glodeni. Our competition to observe as soon as possible the storks that will nest in front of our eyes continues. We rely on your attention to capture the arrival. Send us a printscreen at iulia.vizi@milvus.ro! (more…)
Observe and win!
The webcam from Dumbrăvioara is ready to provide LIVE images from the nest! But something is missing? THE STORKS. Thus, the first observers of storks in the nest will be…
Further 130 Roller nestboxes were installed
As in previous years, in 2017, members of the Milvus Group continued the nestbox mounting activity within the framework of the “Conservation of the European Roller in the Carpathian Basin (LIFE13/NAT/HU/000081)” project. (more…)
Rehabilitated Black-necked Grebe: released in Târgu Mureș, recaptured in Spain
The Black-necked Grebe (Podiceps nigricollis) is a species perfectly adapted to water, but not adapted to urban life. Due to its specific anatomy, if it confuses wet asphalt with a body of water, once landed cannot take off. (more…)

Arlie flies home
In 2017, Arlie began its long journey to the nesting grounds in the Făgăraș Mountains, Brașov County, three days later than in last year (9 February). According to data from the device mounted on the back of the bird, Arlie already travelled 500 km in just three days. If it will be a flight without incidents, the spring migration of Arlie will end in Romania in early April. You can monitor the route at http://pomarina.ro/pomarina/index.php. (more…)
Conservation Action Plan for Roller
Experts from 27 countries participated at the Roller protection conference in Kecskemét
The number of Rollers has drastically decreased throughout Europe and the species has disappeared from several Western European countries. The Carpathian Basin’s population is considered stable, which makes its protection very important in order to maintain the species population on the level of the European Union. Since the Roller is a long-distance migrant (wintering south to Sahara), the protection of the breeding grounds itself is not sufficient for the long-term (more…)
Vízirigók, süvöltő, csízek és sok cinege
Splashes of colour in a true winter landscape with snow up to knees and an almost totally frozen river. However, the annual monitoring of Dippers in Deda-Toplița gorge was, as always, a pleasant winter day spent in nature. (more…)
