Information Required for the Puglia Region (2 Viewers)

[Kernow Pete]

Hello fellow birders. I was hoping somebody in the birding community could help me? I am visiting Puglia in Southern Italy next month and would love some information and suggestions for places to visit and birdwatch. I love raptors and wildfowl so would really like to visit a marshy area but would also like to see and hear some passerines as well. I look forward to any replys. Kind regards Pete :t:

Hello Pete,
can't help really... it's a beautiful region I don't know much of (almost a thousand kms away from my home :eek!... I will provide here a few links, but I think your best bet is getting in touch with some local BW association (EBN springs to mind; here's a link to the apulian section with contact information) ...

Apulia's Checklist

A Birdwatcher's guide to Italy

A list of parks, reserves and protected areas


Finally here's a link to a previous thread from last year, with good contact info ...

Regards,
Max
