woodpeckers in concentration

In recent days we have collected from many users who come to Plaiaundi quotes about the existence of woodpeckers in the area. Because of the confusion that is being created with them, we clarify the nature thereof:
In Plaiaundi so far today have been cited 4 species of woodpeckers. Woodpecker ( Dendracopos major), Pico lower ( Dendracopos minor), Wryneck (Jynx torquilla) and Woodpecker (Picus viridis).
Al
Woodpecker, you see them at any time of year, although the citations listed are scarce. So we would say that their status is regular but with little effect. Individuals who come to Plaiaundi surely takes to consideration as an area where sporadic power. Transmission Txingudi Marshes what we have seen in recent days.

The lower Pico is a species more common than Woodpecker in Plaiaundi. For two years we have seen the most likely breeding in the hollows that offers wooded area of \u200b\u200bspace. Difficult detectability is in these moments when the trees no leaves it can be a good time to observe. It is a common bird in urban parks and gardens. Transmission Txingudi Marshes carry a time without looking at it, but obviously this does not mean it is not present.

picid The Wryneck is a summer, usually in spring and summer. The quotes listed are common. As for the

Woodpecker, noted that only one appointment has collected in Plaiaundi.

Notes on the feeding behavior of the spatula on Loon


The spatula (Platalea leucorodia ) has a highly specialized feeding behavior, reflected in the peculiar morphology of its peak, with many touch receptors in the most enlarged, detecting their prey by touch . In Txingudi, the main feeding area of \u200b\u200bthe blade is located in the Laguna de San Lorenzo de Plaiaundi, ideally to meet the requirements, summarized in shallow waters (around 20 cm) and abundance of small prey. The observation of their behavior reflects a characteristic foraging by movements sweep peak ajar, after catching a prey is ingested by raising the height above the water, accompanied by head movements to put the dam in place and swallowing.

spatula's diet has been studied extensively in Andalusia, proving to be composed mainly of small fish (the fúndulo makes up 71% of their prey in the Odiel Marshes) and crustaceans (the American crayfish is the staple diet in Doñana) ( Source: Conservation Manual spatula. VV.AA. Environmental Council, Andalusian ). In Plaiaundi, we estimate by observing that the database is piscivorous diet, consisting mainly of specimens of small size (c.7 cm) of gray mullet or mullet ( Chelon labrosus ), followed by Atherina and Pomatoschistus , supplemented by crustaceans (Carcinus , Palaemon ...). Fish catches leads to group strategies spatula, being frequently seen the collaboration of several individuals in the encirclement and capture of the banks.

This study highlights the importance of proper management of intertidal lagoons Plaiaundi. The handling is performed taking into account factors such as average depth of the water surface and the entrance of school.
