The aim of the study was to detect the changing temperature in bird boxes of two bird species-collared flycatcher (Ficedula albicollis, T.) and great tit (Parus major, L.). The work is the result of the monitoring of nesting bird species for two years (2009 and 2010) by temperature sensors. Data was continuously recorded for several different breeding pairs with the micro-datalogers MINIKIN. Temperature sensors were fixed directly into the nest with eggs and also in the upper part of bird boxes or outside the boxes. Temperature data was then processed and analyzed. Experimental work was carried out in a floodplain forest in nature reserve Plačkův les a říčka Šatava near Vranovice, altitude: 170; latitude: 48°56´54´´; longitude: 16°35´50´´. The forest is dominated by full-grown, multi-aged canopy with no forestry management. Experimental site belongs to the same natural biogeocenoses group (i.e. Ulmi-fraxineta carpini) and to the same geobotanical group (i.e. suballiance Ulmenion of the Alnion incanae alliance). Our initial hypothesis assumed that the temperature of eggs in the nest and also the time spent in the bird boxes by both bird species (collared flycatcher and great tit) do not differ significantly. The results showed that during the period when the eggs were layed (by both bird species) the temperature were significantly however the temperature of eggs of collared flycatcher and great tit during the period of incubation were very.
