Résumé :	In 1994 a 150 hectare wind-throw area was formed near Munich, Upper Bavaria, which was subsequently colonized by Stonechats, Saxicola torquata, and Red-backed Shrikes, Lanius collurio. The colonization was recorded from 1995-2000. The Stonechats were breeding for the first time in 1997. In the following years the number of breeding pairs increased to six pairs. The first juveniles were observed early in June, there was only one breeding attempt per year. The number of breeding pairs of Red-backed Shrikes did not increase during the monitored time-span. The density was very high (1.3 breeding pairs per 10 hectares). A number of other species typical for half-open landscapes are breeding in the area, too, namely Grashopper Warbler Locustella naevia, Whitethroat Sylvia communis, Whinchat Saxicola rubetra and Hobby Falco subbuteo.
