  • <p>One of our readers wrote to the editors that<br>the information contained in a note from issue<br>27 (2021) under the title „Case of a Wren Troglodytes<br>troglodytes breeding in the corpse of a Goshawk<br>Accipiter gentilis” is inaccurate. The description<br>of the situation in the article does not<br>indicate actual breeding but only the presence of<br>a nest where breeding did not necessarily occur.<br>Male Winter Wrens build multiple nests within<br>their territory. During courtship, males lead<br>the females around to each nest and the female<br>chooses which nest to use for breeding. In the<br>case described in the article, there was no evidence<br>of breeding (chick feces, egg remains), so<br>the term „breeding” cannot be used in this case.<br>The authors fully agree with this comment, and<br>the actual title of the note should read: „Nest of<br>a Wren Troglodytes troglodytes breeding in the<br>corpse of a Goshawk Accipiter gentilis”.</p>
