Insectivorous birds have returned from the south, however here it is winter again. Even if it lasts only a few days, it still wears them down, because insectivorous birds need to eat often in order to survive. Even a day or two of starvation is a huge problem for them. When starvation is combined with high body energy expenditure for warming due to the low temperatures outside, weight loss becomes dramatic. As a consequence, these birds become an easy prey not only for natural predators, but also for stray cats.

This hoopoe is quite weak, it was attacked by a cat. It has a broken wing, it has lost important feathers for flying. The prognosis for the bird’s survival is currently unclear.
