Abstract

Nest of Hazel Grouse was found in Plana Mountain, where the species have not been reported yet. According to collected eggshell material we can claim for 9 successfully hatched chicks and one died during hatching. The vegetation in the nest site is presented by 60-70 years old Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) culture. The nest side is at 1150m a.s.l. at the foothill of a west exposed 12 ̊ slope.
