Hi,
I will visit Stelvio, Adamello Brenta, PN Lessinia and Lake Garda area in the last week of May. I could find little useful information on the internet and all birding guides for Italy are out of print at the moment (or excessively expensive 2nd hand).
Can anyone give me accurate information on where to see:
1. bearded vulture (where exactly in Stelvio can this species be seen reliably)
2. black grouse, hazel grouse and capercaillie
3. any owls
4. grey-headed and three-toed woodpecker
5. Ortolan bunting?? Does this still occur in the area??
6. Any "Mediterranean" warblers of the genus Sylvia, Hippolais, Phylloscopus, etc.
Any information on mammalwatching would be great too!
Best wishes,
Sjef
