Last year was very successful for the breeding Sand Martins on river Drava as we prepared steep river banks on five locations along the river. At those five sites more than 400 pair bred.
This year again as a part of action C.9 Preparation of the river banks for breeding of the Kingfisher and Sand Martin we started with the preparation of steep river banks. On Sunday, 6th of April 2014 we cleared and prepared the banks at two sites along the river at Zlatoličje and at Zumrova jama and on Thursday, 10th of April we cleared the bank at Mala vas. This year we already prepared around 150m of steep banks along the river Drava with the help of 15 volunteers.
Action was carried out as a part of the project LIVEDRAVA: Riparian ecosystem restoration of the lower Drava River in Slovenia (LIFE11 NAT/SI/882).
