Rare Bird Nesting in Croatia: A Call for Protection

Croatia's Rare Little Terns Nest: A Plea for Protection A rare sight has been captured on video in Croatia: the nesting of the little tern (Sterna albifrons). This small, delicate bird is rarely seen in the country, making this nesting event particularly significant. Footage from DNEVNIK.hr shows the birds' nests, cleverly camouflaged amongst pebbles to protect their eggs and chicks. The video emphasizes the fragility of this species and urges people to avoid disturbing them during this crucial period. "Their eggs and chicks are incredibly difficult to spot," explains Mislav Barić from the Zelena Osjek association, in the video. "Their camouflage is extremely effective." The video highlights the importance of respecting the birds' habitat and ensuring their survival. The video serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of protecting endangered species and their natural habitats. It is a testament to the beauty and fragility of nature, and the need for human intervention to ensure the survival of these rare creatures. The footage is a valuable contribution to raising awareness about the little tern and encouraging responsible behavior from the public.
