also collection of fungi, wood specimens, etc. it is
impressive. The more striking to beautiful wood
interior decorating. Then we drove a few km. on dirt
road to edge of large forest block where studies of
Capreolus are being conducted. At 10:30 am
began a count of "sarni" coming out of the forest to feed
in the surrounding meadows & fields. K & I went one
way around the forest, & Ron the other. We saw about
12 deer & Rons 3. The two we saw had collars, a few
horn young & about 3 another bucks. On our own we
observed a 3 & f wild boar close together. When the pair
chased a single doe, the f of the pair apparently
chased the single one which quickly ran away. After
dark with increasing ground fog we walked back to the
car. In this region Capreolus uses the forest during the
day & open country at night. Around Kroków when there
are larger areas of forest, the deer live entirely in the forest
& are tamed/said. Around Poganów where forests are scarce,
an open-country ecotype has developed which not only
lives in the open, but when frightened it runs away from
any trees. On driving back to Wrocowa we encountered
considerable patches fog which was very thick in some
places. Got back to hotel at 2200.
Only new birds were:
Wood Pigeon &
Turdus sp.
lark.
