Occurrence of Common Kingfisher on the Blanice river and the effect of modification of the riverbed on its ecotope
KAŠTÁNKOVÁ, Veronika
This bachelor thesis deals with the monitoring of kingfisher presence in the natural as well as modified biotope in certain sector of the Blanice river´s flow. The chosen section is a part of the Blanice river beginning before Bavorov village by ?U Skuhrů? locality and ending under the Husinecká přehrada dam. This work focuses on floodings, antiflooding modification and its influence on kingfisher biotope. Processing this bachelor thesis, it was found out that 5,6 % of the left and 5,1 % of the right bank of the focused part of the river show features of antropogenic adaptation. It was also found out, that 30 % of the chosen part of the river have appropriate conditions for kingfisher nesting. In these parts of the river, there were found altogether 25 unoccupied remainders of old nests and 3 occupied nests. The most suitable locality for kingfisher nesting from all monitored areas is in the natural part between the villages of Blanice and Strunkovice nad Blanicí. One of the occupied nests was found in anthropogenicly modified part of the river flow in the village of Husinec. It was 50 metres far from the river in the steep hillside. The banks of the river in this area were strengthened after the floodings by stone from quarries and the stream bed was artificially straightened.
