Čaplja danguba Ardea purpurea

The Purple Heron is a regular but localized breeder in Croatia with an estimated breeding population of 120-200 pairs. It is Red-listed as Endangered. In 2006 a color-ringing programe was established to shed the light on this trans-Saharan migrant. Recoveries of foreign birds show typical south-westerly and southerly migration routes. Birds ringed in Croatia have shown strong post-breeding dispersal and later from September a true migration to the south- west. Recoveries from Romania, Serbia and Turkey suggest that some individuals do migrate to the south-east. The main wintering grounds are in sub-tropical Africa, particularly along the Niger Delta in Mali.
