With this pun the ANUU Migratoristi signals the handover between the summer species, which leave our country with the change in temperature, and the autumn species that are already beginning to be seen. The title of this weekly comment does not seem extravagant between the end of the pass of the summers practically concluded, with some exceptions that we will say later, with Saturday 17 September, before the strong momentary change in temperature and torrential rains especially in the north, and the resumption of beginning of the numerous signs of the autumn species, with Tuesday 20 September, such as Blackcap (always remarkable), Robin and the first thrushes in a rather continuous way, touching the first small contingent on Thursday 22, Saturday 24 and Monday 26 September.
Nothing particular, but pleasant announcement of the traditional date of San Michele (coincidentally always Thursday 29 September) as part of a weekend with temperatures above the seasonal norm and with a nice persistent presence of a small handful of Prispoloni, Codirossi, Beccafico and Cannaiole.
But even in the areas congenial to them the first Teals have already been noticed, while at the FEIN Ornithological Observatory in Arosio the countdown is starting to reach the 175.000 bird ringed since 1977, which is expected to reach towards the beginning of the second ten days of October, while the full moon will take place on October 12th.
However, we are experiencing the fascinating date of post-nuptial migration 2011 and we must all be aware of this magnificent gift of nature. Controlled hunting is therefore absolutely compatible for sustainable hunting, in compliance with that ethical code of the passion of every serious and responsible hunter which also represents a love for nature to be preserved.
