A 100-year long optical astrometric series of the Earth Orientation Parameters produced by a Czech team (Vondrák et al., 1998) has been analysed in order to determine components of nutation. Our interest is mostly focused on the long periodic terms: 18.6-year term, 9.3-year term and linear trend, still correlated in VLBI series which cover only the last 20 years. A comparison has been made with the corresponding values determined from the VLBI series.
