The population of the White Stork, Ciconia ciconia, in Croatia

During the first national White Stork census in Croatia in 1984, covering 12 counties or 28% of the total breeding area, 520 HPa were recorded. Since then national censuses have been carried out each year. Within the scope of the 5th International White Stork Census 1994/95, the White Stork in Croatia was counted in 25 counties covering 56% of the Croatian breeding range of the species, resulting 1116 HPa. From the data obtained by the censuses 1994 and 1995, the total White Stork population in Croatia is estimated at 1500 HPa. In 6 counties that were censused in 1984 as well as 1994/95, a 5% decrease of HPa was recorded. In general, however, the White Stork population in Croatia seemed to be stable from 1984 to 1995. This is attributed to the fact that during this period the habitat situation in the breeding range, being located in the continental part of Croatia, between the rivers Drava, Sava and Danube, has remained unchanged.
