Il May was inaugurated with a new team of volunteers at the ringing station ofPonza Island. This is not just any period, since it is the last month of activity as regards the Lazio structure, therefore the catches will be fundamental to draw up the final balance that will probably be known in June. Ringing will register an operationally sensitive acceleration, with a fast pace and dictated by the number of birds passing by.
The birds will in fact be more abundant and every detail will be useful. The weather conditions affected the last days of the station: the wind and bad weather gave the volunteers some breaks, all of which have always been invaluable for the job. In the next week of this month, several specimens of the Lanius genus were captured. The common name by which these birds are known is that of Have it.

The scallops are carnivorous and feed mainly on insects, young of other birds, micro-mammals, amphibians and reptiles. It is usually essential report the presence of a having it which has been captured so that ringers pay attention to extraction from the bag.
