The marked subjects
To date, 4 song thrush subjects have been marked last December with a satellite transmitter in Sardinia and the Marche which have begun the pre-nuptial migration. After the Varano thrush, which we reported in recent days, the departures of the individual baptized "Osimo", again from the Marche Region, and two subjects from Sardinia, respectively called "Redentore" and "Nugoro", were verified.
The places reached
The migration start dates of these three thrushes are between March 1st and March 16th. As can be seen from the three maps reported by the FIDC, the subjects reached Croatia and one the Marche from Sardinia.
Ornithology Congress
The data confirm the absence of migratory movements in January and the direction of flight towards the coasts of Tuscany with a strong North-East component, in harmony with the results presented at the XXI Ornithology Congress last September. Federcaccia will provide updates in the coming weeks (Federcaccia Wildlife and Agro-Environmental Studies and Research Office).
