Between the beach and the seas: stories of birds from the Mare Nostrum
The Science Museum of Trento is organizing the meeting "Between the beach and the seas: stories of birds of the Mare Nostrum" on April 10th.
The first protagonist of the evening is the Fratino, a small bird that nests on the beach.
For years, ISPRA has been carrying out a study project on the species: thanks to the individual marking activity with rings that can be read from a distance, it has been possible to study the dynamics of the pairs that form every spring-summer; while with the use of miniaturized GPS instruments it was possible to study their movements during nesting and winter, with quite a few surprises.

The second protagonist of the evening is the legendary Berta Maggiore. The use of GPS instruments has allowed us to "put our eyes and heads" on the incredible flights that take the bertes (shearwater) to cross the Mediterranean in a few days, capture food and return back to bring it to the chick. The ISPRA project was concerned with studying the navigation system used by shearwaters but also with understanding the meteorological conditions that favor their incredible movements.
