Nesting of Dunnock Prunella modularis modularis (Linnaeus, 1758)
Abstract:
The dunnock nests in many species of trees and shrubs, but most often the spruce is chosen. Most of nests are usually situated in the interval of 0.5-1.0 m and mostly are sliped among twigs. In the nest construction four layers are distinguished, which differ in their composition and manner of the material setting. The comparison of Dunnock´s nest with the nests of same other representatives of the genus Prunella reveals, that it is approximated to the nest of Prunella atrogularis.
