An expedition visit to the territory of the RLP "Tylihulskyi" on February 10, 2023 by a researcher of the park Hruboho M.V. and scientists of the NUK named after Admiral Makarov, Doctor of Biological Sciences, Professor Nakonechnyi i.v., Candidate of Economic Sciences Melnychuk S.S. in order to study the avifauna (winter accounting of birds) and maintain a calendar of nature (phenological observations).
In accordance with the Regulation on the Tyligulskyi Regional Landscape Park, all activities of the Park are aimed at preserving the natural complex and studying natural processes. One of the most important monitoring studies is phenological observations. The purpose of phenological observations is to identify the influence and interdependence between the seasonal rhythm of plants and animals, the timing of their occurrence and the reasons that determine these terms. The development of wildlife is determined by changes in meteorological conditions. Each phenomenon is associated with the presence of a certain amount of heat, moisture, sunlight. Natural conditions are unstable – they change every year. Spring can be early, late, protracted, summer – warm, cold, dry, wet, autumn – early or late, warm or cold.
