Good recovery of the migratory step on our country between October and November especially for the Song Thrush and the Aallodole but the latest meteorological deteriorations have made it almost nil.
Towards the end of October there was a clear gap between the pass of the Song Thrush (very positive) and that of the Redwing Thrush (still with only faint signs), while Peppole, Frosoni and Lucarini, as well as Passere scopaiole certainly did not increase their numerical quantities. As for the Teal, at the end of October there was a good presence as evidence of the favorable state of conservation.
The migratory movement then recovered well on Friday 28 and Saturday 29 October with a good presence of the robins and a nice "tail" of step of the Song Thrush, which has really impressed us perhaps more in northern and central Italy than in the southern regions of the peninsula.
Even for the larks in recent days the step has been somewhat sustained. However, the movement that has been reported to us from Greece is good and excellent from southern France where a series and careful reading of the wings of these species is developing.
What will happen also with Redwing according to the collaboration scheme set between the detectors of the ANUU Migrationists (but obviously open to all Italian hunters) and those of the AICO (Association of French Traditional Hunts) reiterating the initiative that has lasted in Italy since 1985, that is for more than 25 years.
Returning to migration, after the intense rains of 25 and 26 October, with the very serious damage on Aulla and the Cinque Terre, we returned to good weather allowing that recovery that we announced above.
There was therefore a fair movement of Frosoni on the days of 1 and 2 November and, in general, also of the Redwing, but from Thursday 3 in the morning there was a new, impressive deterioration from the Atlantic with strong sirocco and torrential rains between Liguria and Piedmont, also involving Lombardy and Veneto / Friuli, now slowly moving towards the center-south after having caused the mournful events, unfortunately, known to all; the step has therefore been completely void for six days now.
