Habitat selection of forest birds in Branišovský les, České Budějovice, Czech Republic was studied by observing habitat preferences in the non-breeding season and exploring possible shifts in preferences due to the changing seasons. Patterns of habitat selection were analysed at multiple levels: considering all bird species as well as comparing between two feeding guilds. Preferences were also studied by specifically monitoring predation rates by birds on artificial caterpillars and exploring changes with habitat and season.
