“…В настоящее время проблема отпугивания птиц с муниципальных объектов приобрела важное значение в связи с ростом урбанизации и климатическими изменениями во многих странах мира (Allan et al, 2009;Berge et al, 2007;Besser, 1985;Dolbeer, 1990;Gilkeson & Adams, 2000;Linz et al, 1994;Norris et al, 2003;Porter et al, 2008;, в том числе и в РФ (Звонов, 1980; Звонов, Кривоносов, 1979; Ильичев, 1988; Тихонов и др., 1988).…”

“…Существующие нелетальные методики отпугивания птиц с разной степенью эффективности применяются для решения подобных задач, однако практически отсутствует информация про технические репелленты для черного коршуна и сизого голубя, а существующие акустические устройства для отпугивания чайковых и врановых птиц либо характеризуются высокой рыночной стоимостью, либо не являются специфичными для эффективной работы на исследуемой территории (Allan et al, 2009;Berge et al, 2007;Gilkeson & Adams, 2000;Norris et al, 2003;Porter et al, 2008).…”

The lure of the big city: smaller Danish rookeries are increasingly associated with urban land cover

Rooks Corvus frugilegus are common and widespread in urban and agricultural habitats in Denmark. Large numbers are killed annually by derogation shooting to control population growth to reduce noise near populated areas and prevent agricultural damage. Responding to increasing public complaints about noise nuisance from urban rookeries, we investigated changes in extent of urban and agricultural habitats within 500 m, 1000 m and 2000 m of all known breeding rook colonies (rookeries) in eastern Jutland, Denmark in 1991 compared to 2021 based on open access land cover GIS layers in 1990 and 2019. Numbers of rookeries increased by 40% from 95 (1991) to 133 (2021) but nest abundance increased only by 6% from 10,299 to 10,887 due to more and significantly smaller rookeries, increasingly associated with urban sites. In both years, the proportion of urban area within distance classes of rookeries was significantly higher, and the area of agriculture significantly lower, than at randomly chosen points in the same region. The proportion of urban area around each rookery decreased with increasing distance, whereas the proportion of agricultural land cover increased. The proportional area of urban land use within the distance classes increased between 1991 and 2021 whereas agricultural land cover decreased. Given no simultaneous major change in overall land use, our results indicate an increasing selection by rooks for smaller urban rookeries over agricultural landscapes, where rookeries have declined. We consider these trends, especially the proliferation of smaller rookeries in urban areas, as a potential explanation for the upsurge in public complaints about rookery noise in residential areas. We urge further research to explain the causes behind these trends before we can provide science-based solutions to resolve such conflicts effectively.
