rde~ih lastovk. Naj zaklju~im {e s kar precej{no skupino
skalnih lastovk Hirundo rupestris, ki sem jo videl v bli`nji
Paklenici. Tako sem kljub kasnej{emu datumu v enem samem
tednu videl vse evropske lastovke.

Meni{~ek Parus ater
Coal Tit – 1 ind. observed on 22 Apr 2003 on the
slope of Podga`ul on the island Bra~ (UTM XH39,
central Dalmatia)
Na dalmatinskem biolo{kem taboru Bra~ 2003 smo Ana
Vidmar, Jernej Polajnar in pisec dne 22.4.2003 obiskali golo
obmo~je, ostanek po`ara, na hribu Podga`ul. Na vrhu smo
videli `ametno Sylvia melanocephala in rjavo penico 
S. communis in svatbeni let ta{~i~ne penice S. cantillans,
hribskega {krjanca Lullula arborea ter prvo postavljanje
kup~arja Oenanthe oenanthe. Med vsemi me je najbolj
presenetila majhna ptica, ki je priletela na bli`nji grm. Bil je
meni{~ek. Rucner [Rucner, D. (1998): Ptice hrvatske obale
Jadrana. – Hrvatski prirodoslovni muzej, Ministarstvo
razvitka i obnove, Zagreb] meni{~ka v gnezditvenem
obdobju na Bra~u ni na{el, omenja pa, da ~ez zimo zaseda
tudi borove gozdove na otokih.

Beloglavi jastreb Gyps fulvus
Griffon Vulture – 2 ind. on 22 Apr 2003 near Ulcinj
flying at a height of 250 m (UTM CM54, SE
Montenegro)
Dne 22.4.2003 sta vzdol` obale iz SZ smeri priletela dva
beloglava jastreba in nad mestom Ulcinj (UTM CM54) ob
16.45 uri zavila proti solinam, nato pa nadaljevala let v
smeri Vidikovca. Ptici sta na vi{ini okoli 250 m dobesedno
be`ali pred pojenjajo~o nevihto in jo v loku ob{le. ^eprav
sem na obmo~ju Ulcinja s koridorjem Bojane – Bune s
kolegi popisoval ptice {e maja, junija, novembra 2003 in
januara 2004, beloglavega jastreba nismo ve~ zasledili.
Reiser in Führer [Reiser, O. & Führer, L. (1896):

^rni gori vzdol` goratega dela obale in notranjosti dr`ave.
Za Ulcinj pa ga ne navajata. Verjetno se vrsta v tem delu
^rne gore pojavlja (zelo) poredkoma.

Arctic Skua Stercorarius parasiticus
Bodi~asta govna~ka – drugo opazovanje v ^rni gori.
Dne 21.6.2003 je bil osebek opazovan na Veliki pla`i
pri Ulcinju (UTM CM53, JV ^rna gora), ko je
preganjal mladostnega rumenonogega galeba Larus
michahellis.
“Velika pla`a” near Ulcinj is some 12 km long sand beach,
which with its several kilometres wide hinterland of
brackish marsh, sand deposits and mosaic-like cultural
landscape of wet meadows, remains of alluvial poplar
woodlands and extensively farmed pastures forms a truly
unique ecosystem complex on the Adriatic coast. Around 6
p.m. on 21 Jun 2003, I and my colleagues Ivana Nov~i}
from Belgrade and Darko Savelji} from Podgorica began to
survey the extreme coastal sandy part of the complex. In the
place called »Copa Cabana«, I noticed an elegant silhouette
of a fast bird about a kilometre from the coast. A quick look
through my field glasses confirmed my presumption that I
was dealing with a skua. I called my colleagues who were at
that time searching for the breeding pairs of Little Ringed
Plovers Charadrius dubius, Kentish Plovers Ch.
alexandrinus, and Stone-curlews Burchinus oedicnemus. We
watched the skua for a little less than a minute, displaying
its great flying skills during the characteristic pursuit of its
victim, in our case a immature Yellow-legged Gull Larus
michahellis, whom it attempted to force, during its diving
pursuit, to throw up the food from its stomach in order to
catch it and swallow it in mid-air. This time, the skua was
not successful. We had enough time to identify it, on the
basis of its pointed tail as well as distribution of blackness
and whiteness on its underparts, as Arctic Skua. After
examining the available literature, I came to the conclusion
that our observation was the second of this species in
Montenegro. For the first time it had been observed in 1966
near Lake Skadar [Matvejev, S.D. & Vasi}, V.F. (1973):

Alpine Swift Tachymarptis melba
Planinski hudournik – sedem opazovanj iz

Reiser and Führer [Reiser, O. & Führer, L. (1896):

Carl Gerold’s Sohn, Wien] stated that the Alpine Swift is a
common breeder of Montenegro, except that it is seen more
often on the coast than in the inland part of the country.
They listed their nest-sites near Ulcinj, along the
Cetinje–Rijeka–Podgorica road, near Komana, along the
