Raptor electrocution: unexpected progress in our fight against it

Raptor electrocution is an avoidable threat Among the risks birds have to face every day, electrocution stands out. Raptor electrocution is a threat we have the power to limit significantly. To this aim, we need infrastructure planning which keeps in mind animal welfare. As you know, one of the conservation actions underway thanks to the […]

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 […]

Newborn lanner Aida is back with her parents

Caring for a newborn lanner is not so easy Little Aida, the newborn lanner falcon, has just gone back to her nest with her parents Gea and Atlante. Most captive raptors show very strong parental instincts, at least when in good mental and physical health, but caring for offspring is no easy task. Egg incubation […]

Wonderful news: a lanner was born!

The first lanner chick hatched in Vico On April 23, Aida was born. This is the first lanner falcon chick to hatch in a breeding centre in Italy, excluding private falconry establishments. This is a remarkable event, and we are very proud to have reached this milestone in our project. Aida is the first to […]

In Vico, 3 new lanner eggs were laid!

New eggs laid: off to a much better start than 2021 You might recall that 2021 was not a good year overall for many bird species. In the whole country, out of 10 couples monitored by the project, only 3 eggs were laid overall, and our cutting-edge captive breeding laboratory only hosted a single egg […]

Restoring dry grasslands for the lanner

The importance of open habitats Open areas such as dry grasslands are incredibly diverse and precious habitats, but they are decreasing globally. This is because of widespread agricultural practices and abandonment of traditional pastoralism, which used to prevent the spread of scrub and woodland. Many plant and animal species would benefit from the restoration of […]

Securing power lines for lanners

Electrocution: a threat to the lanner Electrocution is one of the causes of mortality for many bird species, especially large birds of prey and vultures. It happens when a flying or perching bird touches both a live part and a conductive part of the pylon. A pylon in open areas can be a convenient perch: […]

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, […]
