I need to see a hoopoe in Italy
Hello, my family is making a trip to Italy in June/July. A few days each in Milan, Venice, Florence, Sorrento, and Rome. What would be my best bet for seeing a hoopoe? It doesn't have to be up-close nor photogenic (though both would be nice). I just need to see it! My family are not birders so... -

2 Pipits (Italy, Mediterranean Alps, Alpi Marittime, August 4, 2022)
While hiking in the Alpi Marittime national park in Italy I came across two somewhat unusual Pipits (time: late afternoon/evening). It was on a fairly high altitude (1840m / 5600 ft.) in a completely treeless mountain valley with low grass, barren rock and boulders and a small stream running...- Frank-birding

Can you help me identify these butterflies?
Hi! I Just bought these framed butterflies from a thrift shop. I think the italian names below are not correct (from left to right, "Point Butterfly", "Point Butterfly" and "Rapeseen pollen Butterfly").

Buzzard Dolomites/Alps Lake Garda, July 26th 2021
A fortnight ago I saw this distant Buzzard soaring. It was above the little town of Stenico (last part of the Brenta massif sloping down to Lake Garda). In all probability it's a Common Buzzard. But it's partially rufous colour and the broad trailing bands on (especially) wing and tail make me...- Frank-birding
