In addition to a distribution map for each species in the Paklenica National Park during the nesting season, the paper includes records of their nesting within the Park. The seven species are: the Great Spotted Woodpecker Dendrocopos major, the Robin Erithacus rubecula, the Spotted Flycatcher Muscicapa striata, the Blackcap Sylvia atricapilla, the Marsh Tit Parus palustris, the Crested Tit Lophophanes cristatus and the European Nuthatch Sitta europaea. For these species, the lowest altitudes of nesting have been specified, as well as breeding sites along the eastern Adriatic coast, known based on literary data
