Hello,
We want to go birding in Italy. We will plan it for two or three weeks between 7 july and the 15th of august. I know ... its certainly not the best time to go birding but its a typical compromise on a family holiday between mother-daughter and father-son relation. The girls have chosen the country (sun and if possible the sea or a swimmingpool), we could chose the region and we can go birding whenever we want ;-).
The problem is I never been before in Italy and there is not many (details) to find about on the internet. Perhaps there is nothing to see ... like a few other birders told me ?
The region we would like to go to ... everything to the north of Rome is ok. We travel with our own car and its possible to divide those two or three weeks in different places. So we can make a tour.
Any information or advice is more then welcome.
If there are places where we can see red-footed falcons (colonie in Valle del Mezzano ???), pygmy cormorans, Lesser Grey Shrike, Lanner- and Eleonora's falcons or other specialities in that region ... we love to know it.
Thanks !
Gert & Tom
