Duna gira ancora per il parmense

Continuano gli avvistamenti nel Parmense di uno degli esemplari rilasciati nella stagione 2025: Duna, giovane femmina che ha scelto di stabilirsi nel Nord Italia. 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, a few breeding pairs were still present in Emilia-Romagna, considered the northernmost limit of the species’ nesting range.

Duna seems to have taken a liking to these landscapes, spending most of her time in the agricultural areas surrounding the fields. She enjoys the area… but for months it has been wrapped in fog, and her GPS struggles to recharge enough to transmit her locations regularly.

All we can do now is wait for sunnier days — and who knows, with spring on the way, she might decide to explore new places!

Un grazie speciale alla fotografa Emanuela Battistini per questi splendidi scatti e a tutti gli osservatori che ci aggiornano costantemente sulle sue condizioni. Emanuela Battistini for these wonderful shots, and to all observers who keep us constantly updated on her condition.
