A twenty-year study on the autumn step of the wood pigeon (the so-called Colombaccio Italia project), the novelty of the Live Pigeon Monitoring and now also a very interesting investigation. As disclosed by the Wood pigeon club, the founding partner Rinaldo Bucchi has tried to involve some hunters of this bird to create a synergistic and complementary research to the previous ones.
Gods were created Pitch detection "combs", that is to say of the lines of interception of the migration of the wood pigeons in specific territories. Monitoring is particular in that some huts are identified so as not to repeat the same measurements on the same flock in flight. The cards then present a series of new parameters. The notes will now be processed with care: the surveys were carried out in Veneto, Liguria, Emilia Romagna, Marche and Abruzzo.
The Club invited the detectors of the Selective Migration Monitoring to return the cards to Bucchi himself. The names of the collaborators and the results of the research will be published in the journal "Colombaccio Italia Project", published every year in June, on the occasion of the Poggibonsi National Wood Pigeon Festival, in the province of Siena.
