BIRDING IN THE PO DELTA-ITALY
The fabulous Po Delta region of Northern Italy provides birding enthusiasts with a wealth of opportunities to observe a wide variety of birdlife. The region between Ravenna, on the Adriatic coast, up to Venice, is renowned for the variety and quantity of both breeding and migratory species.
The Po Delta is a wetland with features varying from sand dunes and mediterraenean bush, to ancient woods of umbrella pines, salt pans, underwater forests, open shallow lagoons, river mouths, marshes and swampy grassland.
The birdlife includes, Grey, Purple, Squacco and Night Herons. Great White and Little Egrets, Glossy Ibis, Greater Flamingo, Pygmy Cormorant, Red footed Falcon, Golden Oriole, White Stork, Little Bittern, Spoonbill, Cetti’s and Fan tailed Warblers, Collared Pratincole, Penduline and Bearded Tits, and Montague’s Harrier.
Casa di Antonio is an English run Bed & Breakfast located in the heart of this region. Tony and Karen Ainley run Casa di Antonio and have built up good background knowledge of the best sites for birding, and what is likely to be seen where. We have dedicated 3 pages of our website to bird watching in the Po Delta (see events and activities pages)
We are situated in the province of Ferrara, and within an hours drive from Bologna airport, which is served by 3 British Airways flights a day from Gatwick. Ryanair also fly in from Stanstead and Birmingham.
If any of your members would like to discover this wonderful area, we will offer a discount of €15 per night on our advertised rates, for members of your society during 2010. An added feature in 2010 is the International Po Delta Birdwatching Fair in Commacchio from April 30th until May 2nd 2010.
