COLLARED PRATINCOLE
If a decade or more ago the ornithologists kept repeating that the Collared Pratincole could possibly breed at the Sečovlje salt-pans, we finally discarded this idea during the visit to its nest-sites at the Ulcinj salt-pans, Montenegro.
There, too, the number of breeding pairs is falling rapidly, which of course means that we can be only happy to see any migrating individual here in Slovenia. For the area of Sečovlje salt-pans, we have only three observations, and even these of fairly old dates.
