The forests in the Plitvice Lakes National Park are a home to a number of bird species, including songbirds.
For years, the BIOM association and Alectoris Birding d.o.o., in cooperation with the employees of the Park’s expert service, have been carrying out the “Monitoring of collared flycatcher (Ficedula albicollis) and red-breasted flycatcher (Ficedula parva) target species as well as other forest songbird species. The monitoring of these species is carried out in regular annual cycles, every two to three years, in order to determine the population status, their numbers and potential threats. The monitoring consists of listening at points along several transects in different areas of the Park.

The populations of these species in the Park area are in good condition, which means that habitats provide plenty of food, shelter and nesting places, all of which indicates a healthy ecosystem.
