Turkey in Autumn

The next 21 August we start a 6-weeks fieldwork in Turkey. Our aim is to compare raptor migration at Bosphorus and at Dardanelles Strait through simultaneous observations at both sites. Look forward our blog/website for the update.

New papers out now!

A new paper concerning the migration of Honey Buzzards in relation to weather conditions was accepted. You can dowload the proof preview from the website of Zoological Studies (click at the link below). The paper reports the results of the ornithological camps made in Girifalco, Southern Appennines, during autumn 2005 and 2006.
