Birding trip to Italian alps (1 Viewer)

[Zakspii]

Going for a birding trip to the Italian Alps around March/April 2024. Mainly staying around the Trentino and Lombardy areas. Main targets are:

Bearded vulture
Capercaillie
Ptarmigan
Eagle owl
Tengmalms owl
Pygmy owl (not expecting to get all 3 of the owl species but atleast 1 would be nice)
Black woodpecker
Wallcreeper
Alpine accentor
Snowfinch

Any tips on the best spots in the area for these?

Best spot for Lammergeier is the Stelvio pass, but it will probably be closed in early spring. You can have a look at our trip report here. I'll write with more info later.

Would love to hear your experiences, as I will be birding there next week

Stelvio will still be closed but I am looking into walking some trails, perhaps in slightly lower areas. I have very similar targets to you.

Any tips? How was your trip? What were good areas? Got your targets?
