Wallcreeper Tichodroma muraria was observed during cold winters in different parts of Croatia, along the Adriatic coast, on islands as well as inland. Their origin remains unknown, but they may belong to the population nesting in the Alps or in Dinaric parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro. The overwintering along the Adriatic coast was explored during field observations, but also from the literature and museum data. The field investigations were carried out in Istria, North Dalmatia, Paklenica NP, Kornati NP and central Dalmatia, Krka NP. In total, 96 observations were made: 35 specimens from museum collections and literature and 61 during field research. The Wallcreeper was observed in Velika and Mala Paklenica canyons in Paklenica NP during cold winters, but not during milder winters. In the Paklenica NP, the earliest individuals were observed on 10 Oct and the latest on 28 Apr. On the complete east Adriatic coast and in Croatian inland, the earliest record was made on 6 Sep and the latest on 2 May. There are 5-10 individuals overwintering in Paklenica National Park.

-New localities of three subendemic species (Berberis croatica, Teucrium arduini and Micromeria croatica) have been found in the Dinaric Alps. Berberis croatica was found at ten new locations, nine of them in Croatia and one in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Teucrium arduini was found on Mt U~ka, Mt Velebit, Mt Biokovo and Mt Snije`nica, at nine new locations while Micromeria croatica was found at four new locations, only on Mt Velebit.

Istraživanja ornitofaune južnog dijela Velebita odvijaju se kontinuirano od 1984. god. do danas. Dio podataka je prikupljen promatranjem ptica u različitim dijelovima NP Paklenica, ali i na dijelovima južnog Velebita, od Velikog Libinja do Tulovih greda, Prezida i Crnopca. Područje srednjeg Velebita istraživano je od Bačić kose do Alaginca i Bačić kuka 2003. god., te povremeno 2011. i 2012. god. Područje sjevernog Velebita posjećivano je oko Zavižana, botaničkog vrta, dijela Premužićeve staze do Rossijeve kolibe, Lomske dulibe i Štirovače tjekom 1988. god. i povremeno od 2007. do 2011. god. Ptice su bilježene u vrijeme gniježđenja, proljetne i jesenske selidbe kao i zimi. Do sada je na Velebitu zabilježena 271 vrsta ptica. Unutar granica NP Paklenica obitava 165 vrsta, od kojih se gnijezdi 101 vrsta. U području NP Sjeverni Velebit je zabilježeno 110 vrsta ptica. Danas se sa sigurnošću može reći da se 127 vrsta ptica gnijezdi na planini Velebit. Ovaj prilog sadrži cjeloviti popis zabilježenih vrsta ptica, kategorije ugroženosti, sezonski status, kao i procjenu brojnosti gnjezdarica, odnosno preletnica.

In the following paper, new information about the occurrence of the pyraloid moth Euclasta splendidalis (Herrich-Schäffer, [1848]) in Croatia is presented. Although this species from the microlepidopterous family Crambidae was presented as a new one in the Croatian fauna in 2012, three specimens were discovered during an examination of a large number of pyraloid moths collected by Mladen Kučinić in the 1990s. These specimens of Euclasta splendidalis were collected during several field trips to the Neretva Valley, south Dalmatia, in August 1996 and 1997 and are the oldest findings of Euclasta splendidalis in Croatia. Also, two specimens were collected during a field investigation in the same area conducted in 2016.These additional records suggest that this local and rare species has been present in the fauna of Croatia for quite a long time and that it has become permanently present in the fauna of Croatia. They also deepen the knowledge on the distribution of this species within the same area. Furthermore, a list of additionally recorded pyraloid species from the valley of the Neretva River is given. Ovi dodatni nalazi ukazuju na to da je ta lokalna i rijetka vrsta duže prisutna u fauni Hrvatske, te da je postala stalni element hrvatske faune. Ovi nalazi također proširuju znanje o distribuciji vrste Euclasta splendidalis na istome području. Nadalje se u radu daje popis dodatnih vrsta Pyraloidea zabilježenih na području doline Neretve.
