Nenad and The Birds

Nenad Spremo is a biologist, or rather an ornithologist. He has been studying birds for over a decade. Every year he bands four to five thousand birds...

Over the past 10 years, Nenad has banded some 20,000 birds thus setting a Serbian record. Nenad lives in Apatin and he was born in 1986. He graduated from the Faculty of Sciences in Novi Sad - Biology Department. He was interested in biology from an early age, especially in the world of birds. In recent years, he has dedicated himself to researching the nutrition of various owl species.

We filmed Nenad's typical working day which starts rather early, between 4 and 5 AM. First he puts up nets in the forest that serve as some kind of a "corridor" for the birds, then he catches them, bands them and records the relevant data: the exact species, the description of the bird, the length of the wings, the weight... Nets are so thin that they can't hurt the birds and are almost invisible, so that birds easily get entangled in them.
