Operation friar third phase, awareness.
Not only but also fratino Fraticelli, avocet, oystercatcher.
These species travel thousands of miles to nest on the beach and the lagoon islands and valleys of the Po Delta
eggs and chicks require constant care from adults to protect them from the hot day, cold night and predators.
getting too close to their nests camouflaged in the sand as well as the risk of walked, prompting the adults to move away exposing eggs and chicks vulnerable to dehydration and their natural predators (herring gull in particular).
So every year, hundreds of chickens belonging to these increasingly rare and endangered species succumb due to human disturbance.
With a few simple precautions, you can do to prevent it from happening again:
1. Avoid standing on the islands and coasts where there are nesting colonies (you know it by the repetitive cries emitted by adults when you get close to their nests).
2. keep a safe distance from the colonies of more than 50 meters away, more than enough for them anyway OBSERVATIONS to the naked eye or binoculars without causing them any trouble.
3. seeks to avoid isolated beaches far in June.
WWF, Ente Parco Regionale Veneto Po Delta and the City of Porto Tolle have promoted a campaign to safeguard a colony of nesting at sand island which is located at the inlet of Bottonera, not to exceed the area table!
