We report the last post of the association ACMA which brings together aquatic migratory hunters: “We continue to keep you updated on this year's news they see among the new entrants to the study of migration, the FOLAGHE. A project started experimentally given the scarce literature and international experience inuse of satellite on an aquatic species that often dives and lives in narrow places like the reeds.
These behaviors could give different problems to the recharge of the small solar panel placed on the back of the individual who going under water or hiding / nesting in the reeds may for long periods not transmit or even lose equipment. This first year of studies will certainly help us better understand these things, but in the meantime it has already given us some important satisfaction by showing us the migrations of two individuals, which is not obvious considering that many coots are now settled in Italy.
We hope to be able to observe them also on the return journey. Thanks to the partnership with FranchiFeelsRightItaly soon you will be able to constantly follow the updates on their web portal in preparation ”.
When the coots were young, you saw them on the Briantei lakes from October onwards; today I have a couple that nests every year, this year they have made 5 chicks and they come to eat in my garden that is on the lake (a show when they call me to give him bread with my grandchildren)
