Tracked migration
The migration of the data can be defined as completed marked song thrushes with satellite transmitter in December 2022 and which made it possible to trace the migration and the beginning of this for three subjects, two in Sardinia and one in the Marche Region.
The main details
The marked thrushes in Sardinia have reached two very different areas: the first, called Irgoli, is found in Hungary and from short-range movements it seems decidedly settled in the nesting area, while the other individual, called Shedir, has made an incredible journey which brought it to Russia near the village of Osinkova, in the Kransnoyarsk territory at the longitude of Mongolia, therefore at a distance of about 6.000 km from the place of ringing.
The most interesting results
It is confirmed that in Sardinia, populations of thrushes converge in migration and wintering from a very large range, from the European Union, but also from more eastern Russia. The third thrush, called Sirio, has passed Moscow and is located in the Kirov oblast, about 3.800 km from the place of ringing at the Conero Park. The results are interesting, both for the departure dates and for the direction taken in the migration and the places reached. Federcaccia has already planned to continue the research next December both in Sardinia and in other Italian regions (source: FIDC).
