Hi
I’m in the very early stages of planning a week in Italy in October, 2010.
Whilst I am a birder, my main interest is mammals and I’m particularly interested in seeing a Crested Porcupine. I understand these animals are relatively easy to see in parts of Tuscany. Is there any particular place where I have a good chance of seeing one?
Alternatively I’m considering spending a week in or near the Abruzzo National Park. I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has visited this area. Is there any decent accommodation inside the park? Abruzzo Chamois and Marsican Brown Bear would be the main targets. Is October too late to look for these species?
Apologies for so many questions. I would greatly appreciate any information.
