Birding on Isola di Ventotene in June (1 Viewer)

[payaminotom]

I've been lucky to be invited to spend a few days on the island of Ventotene this coming weekend! I know that the island is one of the hotspots of the Mediterranean when it comes to passerine migration, but I know that we'll be in full summer now and migration will be largely over. Online guides don't mention much about birding outside of the migration seasons, but I wondered if anyone here on BirdForum might know about any exciting resident/breeding species or specific sites on the island that could be worth a visit! Thanks very much all

The ebird hotspot for the island has 'insufficient data' for the whole of the summer, but the birds present in large numbers to the end of May should still be around now:

Looks good for Quail, Turtle Dove, Purple Heron, Yellow-legged Gull, Hoopoe, Bee-eater, Roller, Golden Oriole, Woodchat Shrike, Short-toed Lark, Icterine Warbler, Sardinian Warbler, Italian Sparrow, Yellow Wagtail ssp., Tawny Pipit, Serin and a few others that are also found in the UK.

ebird Hotspots also has a few specific locations on the island.

Lucky you! I reckon a visit to the Museo della Migrazione e Osservatorio Ornitologico is planned...?

Oooooh excellent! This trip is very spontaneous and so I didn't even know about the museum, I will 100% be going, the reviews on Google really sell it!
