A group of Swedish environmentalists were on a working visit at DOPPS between 19th and 21st of May. Jenny Sander, Oscar Säwström & Gunnar Lagerkvist are working on environmental management of Common Tern colonies and renaturation of wet meadows. They are currently running one bigger LIFE project – LIFE 12 NAT/SE/000132 LIFE+ Vänern. We devoted first day of their visit in Slovenia to our work at Nature reserve Iški morost and the second day was focused at monitoring and population management of Common Tern in northeast Slovenia. We had a rich discussion and getting to know all the differences and similarities between our work, system, nature conservation, forestry, economics etc. did not dissapoint. Those two days were very rich for all of us and on top of all the things we also found and confirmed first nesting of Red-crested Pochard in Slovenia at Lake Ptuj during our field trip.
