In the paper the results of determination of Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Co, Se and Ni in meat and internal organs of various wild bird species are presented. Particularly, interesting are the samples from a grey heron where a high concentration of all analyzed microelement was detected especially iron (2249 mg/kg in the liver), copper (232 mg/kg in the liver), zinc (66.1 mg/kg in the liver), nickel (0.125 mg/kg in the liver and 0.137 mg/kg in the kidney) and cobalt (0.09 mg/kg in the kidney). It is of great importance to determine the area of origin and to identify possible sources of contamination. The performed measurements show that manganese and selenium were present in measurable quantities in all types of the samples. the highest average content of manganese was in the liver (2.85 +/- 0.57 mg/kg) while the highest mean concentration of selenium was, as expected, in the kidneys (1.31 +/- 0.45 mg/kg). The increased amount of copper in the samples of swan meat (277 mg/kg) and marsh hen (79 mg/kg) was indicative.
