Almost three years after her release, Ambra has returned to the Roman Coastal State Reserve with a splendid adult plumage. This is the same protected natural area she independently chose as her territory shortly after being freed, and to which she also returned last winter. In this magnificent place — known for hosting fascinating species […]
The 23rd edition of the Italian Ornithology Conference, organized by CISO and hosted by the University of Salento in Lecce, has come to a close.

The LIFE LANNER project actively participated thanks to […]
Duna, the first Lanner falcon to leave the release area this year, was recovered in Calabria just a few days after her departure. Following a brief rehabilitation period—during which she regained strength and practiced flying and hunting—she was able to resume her dispersal journey in search of a stable territory.

Drusilla, the first chick born this year, has offered a particularly […]

The path to autonomy is long: in natural conditions, parental […]

For the 2025 season, five individuals have been born and are destined for release into the wild! Continuing the alphabetical naming system started with the first chick in 2022, the first three born are Diego, Drusilla, and Duna, followed about a month later by Donato and Dafne. This is an exceptional and unprecedented result—five chicks […]
Less than two months before completing her first year of life in freedom, Carlotta also stopped flying. She passed away after 14 days of intensive care at CRAS Lago di Vico, following an electrocution incident. She is yet another victim of a silent tragedy: every year, dozens, if not hundreds, of birds of prey die […]
