Installation of cameras for monitoring of Common Tern and Black-headed Gull colony on New Island of Lake Ptuj

In March, Company Varnost Maribor d.d. installed cameras for monitoring of Common Tern (Sterna hirundo) and Black-headed Gull (Larus ridibundus) colony on New Island of Lake Ptuj. This system will enable us to collect different breeding parameters for both species and will also enable visitors of project LIVEDRAVA website to watch the activity on colony through live streaming webcam. At the moment you can watch live streaming from the colony at Ranca at Lake Ptuj.
