migratory birds
Loved and threatened
swallow
Of the native species in our region leaves most of its territories in the winter months and move to warmer climes of southern Europe or Africa. Typical representatives of the migratory birds are white storks and black storks, cranes, buzzards, cuckoos, swifts, barn swallows, curlew, lapwing, song thrush, marsh warbler, skylark, willow warbler, nightingale and Black Redstart. But this trip is not without dangers.
Rattling storks ringing the spring, a time advantage for West
swabs from shorter distance
From Bavaria to high to Schleswig-Holstein return already back in early March a number of white storks to their traditional nesting grounds. In general, there are so-called West overcoat, who spent the winter in Spain and North Africa and then back out on the basis of the shorter distance as the first return to the breeding areas. In Hamburg, the first stork has already moved its newly renovated Horst.
many thousand times
Experience chatter, as wild geese on the Lower Rhine and in the winter Ostfriesland
leave end of August beginning of the Wild Geese Septenber their Siberian breeding grounds and set out on a 6,000 mile journey. This leads to multi-stop of Eastern Europe including to East Friesland and the Lower Rhine. NABU offers during the winter months at many bus trips to the wild geese.
He has BirdLife International, the international partner organization of NABU, launched BirdWatch set itself the goal of the spectacular formation flying of geese, migratory traits of alpine beach runners, starlings and many other bird species in Europe and worldwide fixed in a day observed in the year and record. The NABU in Germany to offer far more numerous events.
trip instead of long-haul flight
birds respond to climate warming
hardly imagine a the first mild temperatures, make returning migratory birds at the end of winter carefully. Withdrawing troops from geese and cranes, which are once again sounding Zilp-Zalp in the garden or city park signs of spring that are not only for ornithologists performed every year with joy.
The birds of happiness need special protection
There are migratory bird species whose fate we have people in Germany in a special way responsibility. Among them one of the most spectacular birds is one at all - the crane. About 3,000 nesting pairs live in the remaining swamp forests, field potholes and wetlands north and Central Germany. Long-term conservation efforts have contributed to it with the crane for some years back uphill. But the future fate of the much larger crane populations in Scandinavia, Poland and the Baltic States will most directly depend on their resting places remain between breeding and wintering areas received as of vital stepping stones.
Deadly poles and wires
migratory birds know no boundaries
cross white storks on their migration a number of countries that have the world's densest network of above-ground power lines. Power transmission lines and whose poles are thus the most serious threats to the storks. Exact numbers are not known, but must be expected each year thousands of birds on transmission lines or inadequately labeled incorrectly constructed poles torturous death.
No reason to panic
hornets and wasps are more peaceful than generally thought
common wasp
hornet
education is still an urgent need for hardly a group of animals called so forth violent reactions like these scientific under the term Hymenoptera insects combined. "The fact that few people with the Life of wasps or hornets are familiar, has contributed to the formation of myths and prejudices, "said NABU expert Melanie of Orlov.
By a better appreciation for the hornets themselves are part of known situations and people peaceful neighbors. So it is advisable in the summer to cover sweet foods and soft drinks outside to drink with a straw. It also makes sense not to propose to approaching animals.
No need to panic: wasp in orange juice glass
sweat the way, can trigger attacks. This fly only two of eight in Germany native wasp species of Cola, steak and cake. The congregation and the German Wasp wasps have brewed the whole a bad name. The victim is, the hornets and the outdoors, in trees and under awnings long head nesting wasps whose nests are often smoked out "precautionary measure".
Wild Fruits
Aromatic pleasures of nature
for breakfast sandwiches with delicious blackberry jam, lunch cranberry supplement to the game court and for dinner an aromatic, vitamin rich rose hip tea: without the delicious wild fruits were our diet a lot poorer. But we must not only operate from the shelves of health food stores or supermarkets, but could anyone else do it so our ancestors. As hunters and gatherers, they ate what nature gave them. Including of course the variety of wild fruits.
elderberry juice, jellies and jams
cooking with "fruits of the season" is in late summer, elderberries time
The elderberry one of our most versatile wild shrubs. In the folk medicine of earlier times, he played a large role, the elder Bush at the house virtually replaced the pharmacy. The flowers appear sweaty, among other things, the fruits have a mild laxative effect. Out of respect for the beneficial effects it was even said should be drawn when passing in front of the elder always the hat.
reap Not: Here are are too many half-ripe berries.
The small berries are low in acidity, but all the more rich in vitamins, especially vitamin C is 180 milligrams per kilogram well represented. In grape skin and juice both existing dye Sambucyanin is a tool to cardiovascular-strengthening and colds. The food industry uses elderberry juice as a natural dye and earlier, even leather dyed with elderberries.
But beware: Unripe fruits contain just as the leaves and bark of the toxin Sambunigrin. The consumption can cause vomiting, mild cramps and diarrhea . Lead Ripe fruits are largely Sambunigrin-free, sensitive people still triggers the nausea from eating raw. First heated above 80 degrees Celsius destroys the Sambunigrin and other indigestible substances.
