That's just what has happened so far this season throughout the Mediterranean basin, from Spain to Greece, as regards the migratory movement of large turdidae which, together with all the other ornithic species, are monitored at the FEIN Ornithological Observatory of Arosio in connection with other observation points located in Europe that follow this interesting phenomenon. The Song Thrush it had its first peak on 5 and 6 October, followed by those on 12-13-14 and 15 October, and the last peak on the 24th and 25th of the same month. The Merlo was no exception because, although slightly behind schedule, its main peak was on 25 October.
The first Redwing thrushes have been spotted everywhere, especially in northern Italy, during the last weekend in October and Cesena made its appearance in the high and medium hills where few specimens have already been embodied. It should be remembered that if for the Song Thrush its first migratory peaks occurred with the first and second quarter of the moon, for the Cesena and the Redwing everything is to be verified with the month of November. There is nothing to report for the Tordela, while the Fringuello, Pettirosso, Capinera, Black Tit, Blue Tit and Wood pigeon pass are excellent and continuous. Good presence of other finches such as Frosone, Peppola and, partially, the Siskin.
Good news on the presence of the Woodcock, queen of the woods and, among the rural species, of the Pipit and the Lark in the places they like. Although the first days of November did not give strong emotions due to the unfavorable weather and the sudden drop in temperatures, the observations of some species, absent the last few years, however, they are more numerous and portend an interesting wintering period. Obviously these observations and the related comments will be examined below, underlining, once again, that migration is a natural phenomenon which cannot be codified at the desk or in the courtrooms of the TAR (ANUUMigrators).
