As announced byANUUMigrators, two days ago, on Thursday 4 August 2016, the first was captured black nurse (Ficedula Hypoleuca) as regards the post-nuptial ringing of 2016. The event took place at theFEIN Bird Observatory (European Foundation Il Nibbio) by Arosio, in the province of Como. Moreover, as pointed out by the same association, the time of the capture was nothing short of singular, since it was recorded at 20:25, just before a strong summer storm hit this part of Lombardy.
The next day, Friday 5th August, the second specimen was also captured, always between a rain and another. This is a very important collection of information, as it will be possible to deepen the study of the bird.
Among other things, the meteorological conditions have been constantly and standardized by the Observatory for 39 years. The black nurse was born in the year. Last year the ringed birds belonging to this species were 709 (in the second half of 2015), while the overall total was 720 units.
