Charakterystyka gniazdowania bociana czarnego Ciconia nigra w Parku Krajobrazowym "Lasy Janowskie"

Analyses concerned the spatial characteristics of black stork nesting in relation to the occupied habitats and nest distance to chosen landscape elements. No essential changes were found in nesting characteristics between analysed periods of 1983−1989 and 1999−2008. Storks mostly located nests on oaks, birches and alders. In the direct vicinity of a nest, pine and fir stands (or alder in damp habitats) dominated. There were no statistically essential differences (p>0.05) between nest distances to the same landscape element in both analysed periods. Storks kept the biggest distance to routes and large potential foraging areas. Distance to settlements was similar to other stork nests.
