The Association of Migratory Hunters, which has always kept us informed about the dynamics of autumn migration, has detected a delay in the movement of birds.
“After the full moon on Monday 24th and the traditional date of September 29th (St. Michael's Day), the Song Thrushes have not yet caused a decisive stir, even if on Sunday 30th, in some areas thereollinari, have been seen more consistently, so we must entrust to our Saints and to the memories of our elders also the dates of Thursday 4 (Saint Francis) and Saturday 6 October (Saint Bruno).
Important events such as Monday, October 15th, the passage of the Skylarks, and, in France, Thursday the 18th (San Luca), the start of the legendary Wood Pigeons' passage in the southern Pyrenees. In short, this too is our passion during these exciting autumn days, with temperatures still pleasant, although there was a temporary drop between Wednesday the 26th and Friday the 28th of September. The year of the Song Thrush hasn't yet fully unfolded, but enthusiasts' hopes are renewed day by day. Beyond that, there isn't much to report except the strong presence of the Blackcap, accompanied by an interesting movement of the Robin.
At the FEIN Ornithological Observatory of Arosio, which takes care of these weekly notes, the first migratory Chaffinches were noticed while, if in the high mountains the Redwing was observed, on average collinThe House Sparrow has appeared. However, according to FEIN's historical records, we have to go back to 1982, 1983, 1984, and 1985 for a September with few birds, before picking up again with a truly remarkable trend. Therefore, nothing new under the sun!
