Spring attracts us out to visit new locations suitable for sampling. This time we visited Southern Moravia, specifically Vypálenky near Moravský Písek. In cooperation with the Brno-based Envirop group, we are going to expand our grazing database with new locations. These are places that are often highly degraded, but thanks to the grazing of large herbivores, interesting biotopes could be created. The aim of the one-day trip was to harmonise methodology, establish permanent monitoring areas and consult on management. In the afternoon, we still managed to visit the Kosteliska Bird Park, where we had already worked last season. We added a few more samoling plots there and enjoyed the flocks of geese. We are already looking forward to sharing our discoveries with our colleagues from Brno.
