In this study, habitat preferences of the European Rollers (Coracias garrulus) in the Northern
Anatolia was investigated, in 2014 breeding season. Total of
31 breeding pairs in 4 certain roller sites were located. The average distance
between the breeding territories was 1.2 km in one of the roller sites with 17
pairs. Both solitary and colonial breeding pairs were recorded. Overall, 8, 2 and 2 nests (total
of 12 nests) were located on sand quarries, concrete buildings and abandoned
magpie nests on electrical poles, respectively. The habitat preferences were
determined within a radius of 300 m and 1000 m around the nest site for the
breeding and foraging habitats, respectively. We conducted the spatial analysis
in ArcGIS 10.5 using Corine Land Cover 2012 database. Agricultural areas were
the major land cover types where the European Rollers breed in our study. Use
of unfavorable habitats and other nest sites including magpie nests necessitated
a conservation program for the European Rollers in the study area.

Bu
çalışmada, gökkuzgunların 2014 yılı üreme döneminde Kuzey Anadolu’daki habitat
tercihleri değerlendirilmiştir. 4 ayrı üreme bölgesinde toplam 31 adet çift
tespit edilmiştir. 17 çiftin bulunduğu üreme alanında yuvalar arasındaki
ortalama mesafenin 1.2 km olduğu belirlenmiştir. Çalışma alanı içinde hem
soliter çiftler hem de koloniyal halde üreyen çiftler kaydedilmiştir. 8 tanesi
toprak yarlarda, 2 tanesi beton binalardaki oyuklarda, 2 tanesi de elektrik
direklerinde bulunan saksağan yuvalarında olmak üzere toplam 12 adet aktif yuva
yeri tespit edilmiştir. Gökkuzgunların üreme ve beslenme habitatı tercihleri
sırasıyla 300 ve 1000 m yarıçaplı alanlarda değerlendirilmiş ve alansal
analizler ArcGIS 10.5 programında Corine Land Cover 2012 veri tabanı
kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Tarım arazilerinin, çalışma alanı içindeki
gökkuzgunların ürediği alanlarda en önemli arazi örtüsü tiplerini oluşturduğu
belirlenmiştir. Gökkuzgunların saksağan yuvaları gibi uygun olmayan yuva
yerlerini ve uygun olmayan habitatları kullanmaları çalışma alanında bu türe
yönelik bir koruma programının gerekliliğini ortaya koymaktadır.
