On 16–17 February, a technical meeting was held at the LIPU Wildlife Rescue Centre (CRAS) in Tigliole d’Asti, dedicated to replicating release techniques for young raptors through the hacking method.Over the two days, the team from the CRAS Lago di Vico – Ente Monti Cimini shared the experience and expertise gained also within the LIFE […]
Sightings continue in the Parma area of one of the individuals released during the 2025 season: Duna, a young female who has chosen to settle in Northern Italy. A decision that may seem unusual today, but takes on a very different meaning when we look to the past: just a little over 20 years ago, […]
From wing shape to tail length, all the way to subtle plumage tones, the Lanner Falcon and the Peregrine Falcon can look almost indistinguishable at first glance. With the right knowledge, however, it becomes possible to tell them apart both in flight and when perched. As the breeding season approaches, both species will become more […]
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. It was a valuable opportunity to meet ornithologists from across Italy—and beyond!—to exchange ideas, build new connections, and discover truly fascinating research. 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. Throughout her travels, she explored […]
The year 2025 marks a major milestone in the conservation of the Lanner falcon (Falco biarmicus feldeggii). The five young individuals born at the breeding and reintroduction center are showing excellent progress, and their movements are providing valuable data on the release method used. Drusilla, the first chick born this year, has offered a particularly […]
Each year, our Lanner falcons amaze us with the distance and speed at which they traverse their territory. To increase the chances of successful independence, we continuously monitor their movements, intervening when necessary to give them the opportunity to learn how to fend for themselves. The path to autonomy is long: in natural conditions, parental […]
