Nature park students grasp birds under the wings

Not only trains, but also migratory birds can sometimes arrive too late. In the case of the latter, this has a life-threatening effect due to already occupied nesting sites. In order to help these late-arriving migratory birds, including spotted spotted flycatchers, the students of the PZ Mondsee educational center have come up with a project together with the Bauernland Irrsee Mondsee Attersee nature park: the children made and painted 25 semi-cave nest boxes that were recently installed in the nature park community Mondsee were hung and from now on will offer the Spotted Flycatcher a home. The project was managed by Elisabeth Schlemper, forest educator and board member of the Bauernland nature park, who familiarized herself with the topic with the children.

The kits for the nesting boxes were made by the Lebenshilfe in Regau, assembled by the PZ Mondsee students, painted and attached to suitable trees in the community. The colorful bird villas now decorate a number of trees on the lake promenade, on the school meadow and at the Mondsee vicarage.
