Slovakia
Conservation project
Senné Fishponds in eastern Slovakia is one of 32 Important Bird Areas (IBAs) identified by the Society for the Protection of Birds in Slovakia (SOVS). Conservation work includes managing bird islets for breeding yellow-legged gulls, controlling willow scrub in sedge meadows for roosting hen harriers and repairing dykes in wet meadows for breeding waders and feeding egrets. Volunteers assist with this work at weekend camps; they also learn about birds and contribute to surveys.
