Nobody expected that! As an ecological surprise, a bluethroat with a white star squeaked to the farmers in Hürm during the commissioning.
Nearly 100 hectares, 22 family farms: this was the starting point for the consolidation of properties in Reithfeld in the Melk district, also called commassing in agricultural jargon – for more efficient management. So the farmers and chairman Richard Luger took (eco) action. The central point of this work in fields and fields was also the preservation of the habitat of hares, partridges, pheasants and hedgehogs. From now on, 110 trees and 600 shrubs will improve the microclimate.
To everyone’s surprise, an initially unknown feathered fellow suddenly squeaked out of a rain shower. Ornithologists who were hastily called in quickly identified the bird as a white-starred bluethroat, which was considered virtually extinct throughout Austria. “It was natural for our farmers to continue to offer the bird shelter,” said state councilor Pernkopf and local boss Johannes Zuser at the local inspection.
