The Association of Aquatic Migrant Hunters (ACMA), which is part of the Federcaccia, promoted this year the ANASAT project together with the CIRSEMAF (Interuniversity Research Center on Game and Environmental Improvements for Faunal Purposes). The goal is to deepen the phenology, migratory behavior and nesting areas of different anatids, primarily the teal, who winter in Italy. Satellite tracking is used to obtain the results.
Teals were caught in five sites in central and northern ItalyAnd. We are talking about the Tenuta di San Rossore (Pisa), Valle Morosina (Padua), Quinzano d'Oglio (Brescia), Gambara (Brescia) and Clusane (Brescia), without forgetting the two sites in southern Italy, namely San Giovanni Rotondo (Foggia) and Masseria Fossa (Lecce). In the period between May 18, 2016 and last June 23, 15 transmitters sent the data very reliably: to the 8 teals marked in winter 206-2017, another 7 that refer to winters must be added. previous.
One of the most interesting syntheses concerns the specimens marked in Lombardy: the general picture has clearly shown how the origin of the individuals wintering in the capture site is north-eastern. Only one individual's transmitter continued to transmit until last 2st May.
