Just in the course of today's evening, Monday May 7 2018, there will be an important meeting at the headquarters ofTerritorial Eagle Hunting Area. In fact, at 21 pm planning and organization will begin censuses of rock partridges. The summer appointment is always highly anticipated in the Abruzzo capital and every year there is space for the so-called "singing" census of the species. What does it mean? The business is also known as "Play-back technique".
In short, it is based on the vocal responses of the male specimens after having emitted a previously recorded song. The ideal time period in which to carry out a census of this type is just that of spring, to be precise between the middle of March and the beginning of June. These are the weeks in which the pairs of rock partridges are engaged in the defense of the territory, so we must take advantage of the days in question.
The animal is very important from the faunal point of view as regards the province of L'Aquila. In fact, the same ATC has chosen to alternate protected parks with hunting areas, so as to facilitate censuses and investigate carefully the consistency of the phasianids. In a few hours you will know all the details on the appointments to be respected and the people involved.
