Pass: little hope for the migration pass
Como - Even hope vanishes High fog and zero step and then a slight clearing on Saturday 28/11, only to be reached by the precipitation on Sunday 29, to close a month to forget for the absolute paucity, both of the number of ringed species ( only 15) at the FEIN Ornithological Observatory of Arosio, which takes care of these weekly news in collaboration with the members of the ANUUMigratoristi and with the foreign Ornithological Observatories, and in the total monthly total of ringings in November (up to 29/11) in number of only 271 specimens.
The weather conditions played their part in a negative way with temperatures above the seasonal norm but, above all, the lack of catches of species not hunted (such as Cincie, Long-tailed tit, etc.), not to mention Fieldfare, Redwing thrushes, Brambles, which say a lot about this strange, anomalous season, all to be forgotten, which makes it the worst of the last thirty years. Even worse than that of 1999 (with 282 ringings for 14 species) or 2000 (with 373), where we thought we had hit rock bottom! We will see if the weather conditions change between now and December 8 (Immaculate Conception holiday), even in the presence of the favorable moon phase (2/12 full moon, 9/12 last quarter), so that there is still some hope.
