„Pernati“ turizam: Hvarske pčelarice privlače Engleze

Objavljeno u Zanimljivosti

Prekrasna priroda je pravo blago Otoka Hvara, i vrijedi nju pažljivo zaštiti, ne samo za goste ali isto tako za mještane.

Ptice su veliko blago otoka Hvara i Dalmacije općenito, međutim, da li ih dovoljno cijenimo i čuvamo? Ima ljudi koji ih prate i vole, ali nažalost postoji dosta razloga za zabrinutost. U prvom redu klimatske promjene značajno utječu na raznolikost ptičjeg svijeta, primjerice na škoju susrećemo galebove i vodomare, a ostalo je još nešto i ptica pjevica. Čovjek je ipak najpresudniji čimbenik u svome okruženju, ukoliko bude održavao lokve i izvore pitke vode na Otoku sunca bi i ubuduće mogli viđati vodarice, pa čak i močvarne ptice, kao što su patka pupčanica, pršljivac, močvarna strnadica, žalar cirikavac, vranac, vlastelica, čaplja, itd.

Čuveni suri orao živi uglavnom u sjevernom dijelu Lijepe Naše, ali Hvar također ima nekoliko prekrasnih grabljivica, među njima su: eja strnjarica, vjetruša, škanjac, sova, ćuk, jastreb kokošar i kobac. Ptice su pravi mamac za brojne turiste koji vole prirodu, i mnogi entuzijasti dolaze na škoj samo da bi vidjeli sve te vrste kojih nema u njihovim državama. Steve Jones, Englez koji živi u Dolu i godinama promatra ptice na Hvaru, bilježio je ponašanje ptica na otoku. Naprimjer, crvendać i mrka crvenrepka su zimovalice u tom kraju, premda imaju neke sasvim drukčije navike u ostalim djelovima Hrvatske i u drugim državama.

Grdelini, pupavci, vuge...

Strancima su posebna atrakcija ptice kao što su gardelini, vatroglavi kraljići, zlatoglavi kraljići, pupavci, vuge i pčelarice.

U okolici Jelse svake godine dolaze pčelarice, koje stižu uglavnom u travnju i stvaraju svoja gnijezda uvijek u istim mjestima u pjeskovitom tlu, a ljeta provode veselo loveći insekte sve dok ne odlaze na kraju sezone. Vivian Grisogono, predsjednica udruge "Eco Hvar", često dobiva upite, gdje ih se može vidjeti, a nakon komunikacije s gostima neki od njih dolaze baš u to mjesto s ciljem da ih razgledavaju, osobito iz Engleske.

Iskustven promatrač ptica John Ball bio je oduševljen, a poslije njegove posjete Jelsi rekao je da je taj prvi susret s pčelaricama za njega bio izuzetan 'adrenalinski događaj'. Will Rose i Eugénie Dunsten su danima pripovijedali da im je promatranje pčelarica i njihovih gnijezda bilo predivno i nezaboravno.

U svibnju je Will pisao gospođi Vivian da im je jako žao što ove godine zbog epidemije koronavirusa najvjerojatnije neće moći vidjeti pčelarice i vuge u našoj zemlji, pa preporučuje da barem mi uživamo u tim prekrasnim bićima umjesto njih! Očito postoje ljudi koji se rado vraćaju u Hrvatsku da bi ponovili takva ili doživjeli neka slična iskustva.

„Odletjela“ velika jata ptica: Gdje su grdelini, lugarini, frzelini, faganeli, verduni, krstokljuni?

No, svake godine je nažalost sve manje ptica koje bi mogli promatrati. To bilježi i gospodin Steve, dok se Jelšanin Ivica Drinković još iz djetinjstva sjeća velikih jata ptica iznad Jelse. Kad se na škoj vratio 2005. nakon devet godina provedenih na privremenom radu u Njemačkoj, odmah je primijetio da je ptica znatno manje. Sada naposljetku opaža da nekih vrsta u prirodi više uopće nema, tako se u okolici Jelse gdje svakodnevno provodi svoje slobodno vrijeme vrlo rijetko može vidjeti: grdelin (češljugar, carduelis carduelis), lugarin (češljugar, carduelis spinus), frzelin (žutarica, serinus serinus), faganel (obična juričica, acanthis cannabina), verdun (zelendur, chloris chloris), pa i krstokljun (loxia krvirostra)“ – veli Vivian.

Razlozi takvih gubitaka su, kako dodaje, uistinu kompleksni. Zna da na neke čimbenike vrlo teško možemo utjecati (klima i slično), ali ima i onih koje se zasigurno može prevenirati. Što se tiče ptica pjevica na Hvaru postojala je jedna dugoročna tradicija da ih mještani love i stavljaju u kaveze kako bi im lijepo pjevale. Udruga "Eco Hvar" dobila je nekoliko pritužbi stranaca, pismenih i usmenih, radi nehumanih uvjeta u kojima žive te jadne ptice. Sada je taj lov na svu sreću zakonski zabranjen, mada ga neki neodgovorni pojedinci navodno još uvijek prakticiraju.

Ptice osuđene na život u malom kavezu

Mnoge ptice, osobito pčelarice, izgubile su svoja staništa. Njihova dva velika staništa u blizini Jelse godinama su devastirana za potrebe građevinskih materijala (jarine), stoga tamo više ni ne dolaze u tako velikom broju kao prije. Ipak, najveći problem je zasigurno korištenje pesticida.

Korisna zadaća u prirodi

Vivian Grisogono je poznato da herbicidi truju ptice koje imaju gnijezda na zemlji i jedu crve te ostalu hranu iz tla; insekticidima se truju insekti koji su glavno jelo za više vrsta ptica; larvicidi u lokvama truju hranu vodenim pticama; a fungicidi koji se koriste na veliko za vrijeme vegetacije, osobito kod uzgoja vinove loze, isto tako imaju loš utjecaj.

Otočni težaci nisu jedini koji koriste otrove, ona se uvjerila da to čine i lokalne vlasti, npr. oko Hvara svake godine su tri hektara šume prskana s "Bti", insekticidom koji šteti reprodukciji ptica, dok se tri puta kroz ljetnu sezonu sve ceste i putovi prskaju s piretroidima koji su izuzetno štetni za insekte, pa čak za mačke i pse. Posve nerazumno, zar ne?

A što još reći, poznati splitski novinar, pokojni Miljenko Smoje, u svojoj knjizi kolumni "Dalmatinska pisma" (str. 117) svoje sugrađane je opisivao kako "...su na stare splitske kuće ostavjali buže....[jer] 'prokleta kuća koju tica ne naseli!'" Drugim riječima, ako se nastavi trend nestajanja ptica u našim krajevima onda ćemo zasigurno izgubiti izuzetno važan dio prirodnog lanca, jer svaka ptica ima svoju korisnu ulogu u prirodi. Izgleda da smo veoma loše savladali tu lekciju od naših predaka, oni su uvelike poštivali i voljeli ptice, prirodu u cjelini, pa učinimo stoga i mi sve što je u našoj moći da Hvaru vratimo bogatstvo koje je nekad imao.

  • UN secretary-general António Guterres earlier used speech at Belem summit to urge countries to find compromises in final hours of negotiations

    Inside the halls of Cop30 you see people from all around the world, and it can be easy to forget that there are many people who remain unrepresented.

    On Thursday morning, Magne Tony was standing with compatriots from French Guiana outside the entrance to the conference centre, trying to push pieces of paper into the hands of arriving delegates and observers headed: “Our Amazon is dying”.

    The main problem is that France are in 9,000 kilometres from Amazonia, from South America, and they’re taking decisions. [But] they don’t really know what is the problem really. They’re taking the decisions from their own mind and the problem is that they’re far from reality.

    That’s why we decided to alert the people in the world about [our] problems: water coming up, getting enough to eat, more heat – in some parts of French Guiana, people don’t have water.

    These crises, a consequence of Western capitalist madness, primarily affect the most vulnerable: women and communities dependent on forests and rivers. But they also concern all of humanity: French Guiana is part of the Amazon, a regulator of the global climate and essential to planetary balance.

    We remind you that French Guiana is the last colony in South America without self-determination. We will not be able to protect our environment or guarantee our food and energy self-sufficiency, essential for our collective survival, as long as decisions are made in Paris without consulting the affected communities or taking into account local specificities.

  • She was sure that there would be warnings if there was any danger. But then the floods came. This is Toñi García’s story

    Location Valencia, Spain

    Disaster Floods, 2024

    Toñi García lives in Valencia. On 29 October 2024, devastating storms hit the Iberian peninsula, bringing the heaviest rain so far this century. The national alert system sounded at around8.30pm local time; by then, however, flood waters had already broken through the city. Scientists say the explosive downpours were linked to climate change.

  • Scientists discover thousands of sea creatures have made their homes amid the detritus of abandoned second world war munitions off the coast of Germany

    In the brackish waters off the German coast lies a wasteland of Nazi bombs, torpedo heads and mines. Thrown off barges at the end of the second world war and forgotten about, thousands of munitions have become matted together over the years. They form a rusting carpet on the shallow, muddy seafloor of the Bay of Lübeck in the western tip of the Baltic Sea.

    Over the decades, the Nazi arsenal was ignored and forgotten about. A growing number of tourists flocked to the sandy beaches and calm waters for jetskiing, kite surfing and amusement parks. Beneath the surface, the weapons decayed.

  • Australia had been pushing to host climate conference next year with south Pacific nations, which are increasingly threatened by rising seas and climate-fuelled disasters

    Papua New Guinea has voiced frustration after Australia ditched a bid to co-host next year’s UN climate talks with its Pacific island neighbours.

    “We are all not happy. And disappointed it’s ended up like this,” foreign minister Justin Tkatchenko told Agence France-Presse after Australia ceded hosting rights to Turkey.

  • St Dominic, Tamar Valley, Cornwall: The frost is yet to arrive and we’re awash with autumn colour as the mild weather continues

    Yellow leaves, remaining on the lime tree, brightenthis dull November morning, and appear almost luminous against lichens on the leafless eucryphia. Frost has yet to blemish the early white camellia, and squirrels ignore the strawberry-like fruit of dogwoods in favour of abundant berries and nuts. Just one of the heavily laden hollies has been stripped of berries, probably eaten by a passing gang of wandering fieldfares. Blue flowers clothe aromatic rosemary and the ivy-woven undergrowth shelters violet plants – food for fritillary caterpillars.

    Before 8am, the sound of a quad bike (with headlight gleaming through the mist) sounds from opposite as the south Devon beef cattle are escorted into a fresh enclosure of greened-up grass, still growing in the mild weather. Outside this gardened enclave, the landmark clump of beech has been blown bare of its leaves and mast, and the Dupath farm’s Aberdeen Angus bullocks graze in a nearby pasture.

  • Climate summit in Brazil needs to find way to stop global heating accelerating amid stark divisions

    “It broke my heart.” Surangel Whipps, president of the tiny Pacific nation of Palau, was sitting in the front row of the UN’s general assembly in New York when Donald Trump made a long and rambling speech, his first to the UN since his re-election, on 23 September.

    Whipps was prepared for fury and bombast from the US president, but what followed was shocking. Trump’s rant on the climate crisis – a “green scam”, “the greatest con job ever perpetrated”, “predictions made by stupid people” – was an unprecedented attack on science and global action from a major world leader.

  • Brazil’s president welcomes world leaders while navigating divided government, promising action on deforestation and emissions

    Brazil’s president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, has welcomed world leaders to Belém for the first climate summit in the Amazon, where conservationists hope he can be a champion for the rainforest and its people.

    But with a divided administration, a hostile Congress and 20th-century developmentalist instincts, this global figurehead of the centre left has a balancing act to perform in advocating protection of nature and a reduction of emissions.
