LIFE LANNER 2022: taking stock of the year

An overview of the past year’s progress  This year, the Lago di Vico Nature Reserve attempted a different approach for the release of lanner specimens destined for reintroduction, going beyond the classic hacking method. Compared to previous years, the improvements were due to keeping the falcons close to the hacking boxes for about 40 days […]

She was constantly monitored via GPS as planned for all released specimens, and she was additionally equipped with a VHF transmitter to facilitate any possible rescue operation.

Welcome to two new lanners in the hacking box

Young Aida is not going into the hacking box alone As we anticipated last week, our beloved young lanner Aida is not going to be released from the hacking box alone. Right now, she is growing up under the careful scrutiny of the Lake Vico Natural Reserve’s personnel, and slowly becoming more and more independent. […]

Growing up and ready to be with other young lanners

Aida is becoming independent of her parents Young Aida, the lanner born at Lake Vico rescue centre, spent a couple of weeks being cared for by her parents, Gea and Atlante. We made sure their lack of parenting experience would not put the life of their chick at risk, and everything went indeed smoothly. We […]

Genetic analyses on the Lanner falcon are well under way

Challenges of genetical characterization for the lanner The lanner falcon (Falco biarmicus) is not easy to characterize genetically: there are many genetic similarities with the other species of the Hierofalco group, for example the sacred falcon (Falco cherrug) or the gyrfalcon (Falco rusticolus). In fact, these are very similar species because they are evolutionarily recent, […]

Lanner falcon release soon: welcome to the new chick!

A difficult year for many bird species The 2021 breeding season has been remarkable, in a negative way, for many species. Egg laying in many seabird colonies has been delayed, migration was shifted for both passerines and raptors. Our favourite raptors have struggled this year as well, threatening our goal of Lanner falcon release. LIFE […]
