A fruitful collaboration
Federcaccia and Amici di Scolopax continue field activities together to move forward with the study "Scolopax Overland", coordinated by the University of Milan, on the migratory phenology of wintering woodcocks in Italy. After the 5 woodcocks marked in Northern Italy it was the turn of Sicily, where 4 subjects were equipped with transmitters that will contribute to the knowledge, begun last year, of the starting dates of the migration and the reproductive areas of the woodcocks that winter in Sicily .
The role of the Region
The transmitters were purchased thanks to the funds made available by Federcaccia Sicilia and Federcaccia Nazionale and the operations were carried out, with the usual commitment, by the consultant of the FIDC Studies and Research Office Alessandro Tedeschi. Thanks to the Sicily Region for having shared the usefulness of the project and to all the collaborators who have allowed the success of the operations.
Hunting calendars
Federcaccia Sicilia and Federcaccia Nazionale continue to work to allow the collection of useful data to detach themselves from Ispra opinions and allow compliance with the dates in the hunting calendars provided for by Law 157/92 (closing on 31 January) (source: FIDC).
