On mining enterprises, various species of predatory birds that have adapted to life near human activities can be encountered. Birds often utilize mining territories for hunting due to changes in the ecosystem. However, it is important to note that intensive mining activities can impact the natural environment and lead to changes in the normal life cycle of these birds. Predatory birds found in industrial areas use various locations for nesting. They adapt to disturbed areas and infrastructure that can provide excellent nesting sites. Adaptation to the altered environment of the mining industry is crucial for their successful reproduction and sustenance. It is important to consider that nesting of birds on mining facilities can have both positive and negative effects on these birds. On one hand, creating new nesting sites can increase opportunities for reproduction. On the other hand, the impact of human activities can pose threats such as pollution, noise, or hazards from industrial processes. The material was collected during 2022–2023 within the territory of the Poltava Mining and Beneficiation Plant in Gorishni Plavni. The population and status of birds of prey in the studied area were determined. During the research using the route-point method, 13 bird species were recorded, with 6 of them nesting on the territory. Among the identified bird species, the following are listed in the Red Book of Ukraine: Milvus migrans, Hieraaetus pennatus, Aquila pomarina, Aquila heliaca, Haliaeetus albicilla. 53.8% of species are protected by the Berne Convention (Annex II), 15.4% by the Bonn Convention (Annex II) and 30.8% by the Washington Convention (Annex II). The impact of ecological factors on the selection of daytime predators in the vicinity of Gorishni Plavni’s mining-industrial zone was analyzed. Additionally, literature sources were reviewed, covering studies on birds in the Poltava region.
