Abstract

This ornithological study presents data on the diversity of bird species recorded on the territory of Gârleni Reservoir, on the lower sector of Bistrița River, starting from the winter of 2014-2015 until the winter of 2021-2022. We identified 151 bird species, part of them being vagrant species with only one or two observations in the area during our study. We also present quantitative data for the observed bird species. The typical forest species and passerines are dominant by diversity but the aquatic birds present significant populations all time during the year. We notice the relevance of this territory as a breeding site, a migration stopover point and a wintering area for the bird fauna in the lower sector of the Bistrița River, emphasizing the importance of connecting it with the neighbouring ROSPA0063 Buhuși - Bacău - Berești Reservoirs. We identified 30 bird species that appear in Annex 1 to the Birds Directive, respectively, 18 bird species included in the Romanian Red Book of Vertebrates during our monitoring activity in the investigated perimeter. Our study supports the importance of including this perimeter in the Natura 2000 Romanian Network, as an individual site or as a part of the ROSPA0063 Buhuși - Bacău - Berești Reservoirs.
