TERMÉSZETTUDOMÁNY - Dudás Miklós: A vörös kánya (Milvus milvus) magyarországi fészkelési viszonyai és állomány-fenntartási lehetőségei

12 MIKLÓS DUDÁS also start a reintroduction project int he Hortobágy National Park. The staff of the National Park has considerable experience in protecting birds of prey, for there is a repatriation farm running since 1991 in Górés. A Red Kite reintroduction project would easily match the profile of this farm. We'd like to get ina n official way injured, flightless bird have retained their ability to breed, and we'd like to let them breed in our farm, afterwards setting their youngs free in the most suitable areas of the National Park. It would be possible to feed and monitor them together with other species of bird of prey (See Eagle, Imperial Eagle). It is already the second year that we are receiving birds of prey (Imperial Eagles, Longlegged Buzzards, Steppe Eagle, Short-toed Eagle, Sakers ) confiscated by organization that are against the international bird-market (Deutscher Naturschutz Bund and European Crime Group), to repatriate them. We are prepared - together with our colleagues working out in the field to get them back to nature using the best of our knowledge. We created a basis where we can make the birds to be able to live in the nature. Here we have a voliere, a feeding - piece and a house for researchers. With the young kites staying close to the feeding - places all the year round it would be possible to sustain a stabile breeding population consisting of repatriated and vagrant birds that settle here eventually. The Hortobágy with its surroundings (Tiszafüred Bird Reserve, the flood plain of the Tisza, Ohat Szandalik, Darassa ) provides a variety of habitats to ensure successful for teh Red Kites.
