What happens in December and January
The "Beccaccia Weather" starts again on time, which in the months of December and January will establish whether or not it is possible to carry out hunting activities at woodcock in the 11 provinces of the regional territory involved.
Adverse climatic events
Meteo Beccaccia is a protocol that responds to the initiative of Ersaf-Lombardy Region for the protection of the wintering populations of woodcock during adverse climatic events: every week the press release will be published which will guarantee the possibility or otherwise of carrying out the activity in case of waves of frost.
Frost wave and woodcock
As stated in the bulletin, from 1 December to 31 January, the ban on woodcock hunting will be in force during the event defined as "frost wave", as established by the "frost" protocol which was prepared precisely by Lombardy region.
