The migrations that
carry every autumn and spring million aquatic birds us from the
Nordic regions towards the svernamento zones and nidificazione,
interest the Sicily that it represents a nevralgico point in the
migratory routes of much species. The migrations of aquatic birds
have us large way a course the north-est/sud-west. The destinations
of the birds that journey in Sicily are in particular the great
humid zones of Tunisia. Vendicari is found in a strategic position
along this route, in how much represents the last earth border with
the characteristics appropriated before the definitive leap of 350
km until the coasts Africans.
The summery presences
During the summery
period, because of the strong evaporation and of the lack of outlet
channels that allow the riflusso of waters, the marshes of Vendicari
are for the greater part buckets with the exception of isolated
puddles to the marsh center. In this period some migratory flocks of
"premature" are present, are enough frequent, in fact, the presence
of
gossipy, chiurli greater
and smaller, some tens of
avocette,
totani Moors and
pantane. Beyond to these groups it is possible to
observe a sure number of individuals that have interrupted the
migration and that they pass the summer without riprodursi sostando
to Vendicari. Of norm draft of aironi
cenerini,
garzette, flocks of
real gulls and also some ten of the
rare run gulls.
In summer a massive
passage of fratini (in
some
cases also some thousand
is recorded also) and from July half
the rose-colored gulls. From half
August large groups of ciconiformi are succeeded:
aironi cenerini, garzette
and above all the rare ones spato them
(of which they are available by now not more than 2000 braces
perhaps) that they are sure the more fascinating presences in how
much to Vendicari is only possible to observe them in numerous
groups therefore. Some individuals of
cicogna black are
observable also
and more very rarely than
cicogna white woman.
Towards the August end
they can be sighted small group of ducks,
alzavole and
marzaiole, groups consisting of
mignattini and sgreater tern.
With first rains they arrive to migliaia
gambecchi and
piovanelli pancianera and in
less numerous groups the piovanelli,
the piro-piro,
the pivieressa,
the piovanello greater,
the pittima smaller.
Autumnal Presences
The beginning of the
autumn sanctions for Vendicari the moment of the arrival of the
greater number of ducks. Between of they they detach
the volpoche, undoubtedly beautifulst, than to case they
have not been chosen like symbol of the reservoir. In advanced
autumn they begin to arrive also large groups of
common gulls, between which
numerous coming from coralline
gulls from
east and the Black Mar distinguish themselves also. The autumnal
months, moreover, are sure most favorable for the sight of
the fenicotteri, than coming
from from France of the North, sostano in the Reservoir, thanks to
an atmosphere particularly adapted to their feeding, before catching
up the zones of reproduction in Tunisia. In the moments of maximum
concentration if they can some observe also some hundred in
contemporary. Rare times, between ducks and large trampolieri, the
fortune can be had to sight some copy of
crane.
Winter Presences
With the December month
the marshes are filled up literally of
folaghe, usually present (if the level of marshes enough
is elevated) with some thousand of individuals. In this period the
maximum concentration of Volpoche
is recorded also , than coming
from from the Black Mar, they will remain until February. They
complete the picture of
the Small ducks some ten
of
Svassi and in
Greater
smaller number
the Svassi. The limicoli
presents in the depths of winter, solitamenti in small small group
of Fratino,
Gambecchio,
pancianera and
Gossipy
Piovanello. A lot
interesting is the presence of
the Gull saffron
that is observable in only elevated number therefore in the
Southeastern Sicily. Particular hosts of this period are, moreover,the
Upupa and
the Pettazzurro, than normally
svernano in Africa, mentra to little tens of meters from the coast
is often stopped to fish
the Gannets and on the Island
the Stercorari.
Primaverili presences
In spring, while they
begin to diminish the presences of the svernanti birds, the first
flocks begin to catch a glimpse themselves that head towards the
nidificazione places. To February they above all pass
Marzaiole to continuous big waves
in flocks from 50/100 individuals. With the end of March and the
beginning of You open them begins the period of greater traffic.
Between the limicoli the Knights of
Italy,
Chiurli,
Albastrelli
pass
Smalland
Greater,
Pantane and
Totani Moors. Between the laridi:
Mignattini common
and alibianche,
Sterne to zampenere and
Gabbianelli. Between the rapaci
diurnal:
Hawks of swamp and
Hawks fishermen; between the
trampolieri:
Garzette,
Sgarze,
Aironi red,
Spatole and
Fenicotteri. In the campaigns around marshes, the
crowding is not from less: tortore,
cuculi,
upupe. The passeriformi invade the
rebellions of the trees:
Common Luì
large
andgreens
,
Nannies and
from the collar,
Codirossi,
To have them capirosse,
Culbianchi
and finally rondini and
rondoni fill up the sky. The half
of May is of the caradriformi: gambecchi,
piovanelli,
piovanelli tridatti them,
voltapietre and
pivieresse.
