Abstract Habitat use and preferences by raptors were studied during three non-breeding seasons (2011-201 3) in an agricultural landscape in western Slovakia. The non-breeding season on agricultural land showed high variation and changes in the cover of habitats related to human activities. The most abundant raptor species were the common buzzard Buteo buteo (L.) (1 52 individuals) and the common kestrel Falco tinnunculus (L.) (78 individuals). The common buzzard preferred alfalfa and avoided ploughed fields. The common kestrel showed a high habitat preference for alfalfa, corn fields, stubbles and fallow. It also avoided ploughed fields and wheat.

Agricultural Areas

Low-intensive agricultural areas of Romania sustain high species diversity. Together with natural habitats, these areas are very important for European biodiversity. The ecosystem´s health is reflected in the predator status because of their position at the top of the trophic networks. The Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo) is the most common bird of prey species in Europe. During the first survey census conducted in Eastern Romania (2011–2012 breeding seasons), 8.55–10.35 breeding pairs/100 square km have been counted. The Common Buzzard density varies between breeding seasons and with differences in habitat structure. Their density is positively influenced by the density of forest edge and Simpson diversity index of habitats but is negatively influenced by the total habitat fragmentation and mean daily temperature. According to this analysis, the selection of breeding territories by common buzzards is positively influenced by a heterogeneous landscape in an area with low-intensive agriculture and with large areas of open habitats made up of natural or semi-natural vegetation.

The European Honey-buzzard (Pernis apivorus) was first accurately described and clearly distinguished from the Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo) by Francis Willughby and John Ray in their Ornithology, originally published in Latin in 1676. Alfred Newton's statement that Pierre Belon had described the species over a century earlier is not entirely correct, as Belon confused this honey-buzzard's features with those of the common buzzard and even appeared uncertain whether it was a separate species. One of Willughby's important contributions to ornithology was the identification and use of “characteristic marks” to distinguish and identify species, including those that distinguish the European Honey-buzzard from the Common Buzzard. Because Willughby provided the first accurate description of Pernis apivorus  – and because his contribution to ornithology has never been formally recognized –  we propose that the common name of the European Honey-buzzard be changed to Willughby's Buzzard.

Observations regarding the flight biology and behaviour of the Common buzzard (Buteo Buteo) in the Râul Doamnei hydrographical basin (Romania) In this paper, the authors analyse the flight biology and behaviour of the Common buzzard (Buteo buteo) observed in the Râul Doamnei hydrographical basin, depending on the environmental conditions and ecological seasons. Along three years, during the 3031 observations, 4549 individuals were observed.

Összefoglalás A kisemlősök denzitás változásainak az egerészölyv reprodukciójára gyakorolt hatását (un. numerikus választ) vizsgáltam a Hortobágyon, 2000-2001-ben. A fészekellenőrzések során regisztráltam a lerakott tojások, valamint a kikelt és a kirepült fiókák számát. Az egyik legfontosabb zsákmánycsoport, a kisemlősök állomány változásait élvefogó csapdázással monitoroztam. Vizsgáltam az időjárásnak az áttelelő kisemlősök túlélésére gyakorolt hatását is. Az ölyvek átlagos fészekalja a két évben szignifikánsan különbözött: 2000-ben 2,3, míg 2001-ben 3,1 tojás volt. Ez a kisemlősök - 2000-ről 2001-re bekövetkezett - jelentős mértékű állománynövekedésével magyarázható. 2000-ben nagyon alacsony volt a kisemlősök egyedszáma (9 példány/ha), míg 2001- ben ennek nyolcszorosát regisztráltam (76 példány/ha). A kisemlősök egyedszámában tapasztalt óriási eltéréseket a vizsgált két év tél végi-tavasz eleji időjárási különbségei okozhatták. 2000 február-márciusában, a napi minimum hőmérsékleteket tekintetve, 4 rövid, enyhe periódus váltakozott 4 fagypont alattival, ugyanakkor az enyhe időszakokban jelentős mennyiségű (6-8 mm) eső is hullott. Ekkor az áttelelő kisemlősök járatai ismételten beáztak, az állatok megfáztak, kihűltek, szinte kipusztultak a területről, ezért létszámuk a költési időszakban is rendkívül alacsony volt. 2001-ben a tél vége sokkal enyhébb volt, 3 héttel korábban emelkedtek fagypont fölé a napi minimum hőmérsékletek, mint 2000-ben, nem alakultak ki váltakozó hideg-meleg időszakok sem. Ez kedvezően hatott az áttelelő kisemlősökre, létszámuk gyorsan emelkedett és nyár elejére mezei pocok gradáció alakult ki.
