The project Scolopax Overland 2020, realized by Friends of Scolopax and Federcaccia, in collaboration with the University of Milan, marches at full speed and success, after catching and marking with GPS transmitters in Sicily, Sardinia and Piedmont, activities in Liguria were completed, with the marking of as many as 7 specimens, equipped with a GPS transmitter.
The captures were carried out by Alessandro Tedeschi, President of Amici di Scolopax, in collaboration with Federcaccia La Spezia, which identified the suitable locations and therefore allowed to work effectively and affix all the devices prepared for Liguria, purchased from the Ligurian ATCs, Federcaccia Liguria and Federcaccia La Spezia.
This work will allow us to accurately identify the start date of the pre-nuptial migration and of to know the breeding places of the wintering woodcocks in this region and their behavior during migration. A big thank you to everyone who engaged in the search and capture evenings, one important effort for the growth of the hunting world and its legitimacy in the research and decision-making centers of management strategies.
