Sampling season 2024 of #lesserkestrel in #Matera (spot the nestboxes on the roof). Many birds and many eggs: breeding season seems quite advanced this year!

The study, led by @giacomoassandri , is the result of a great collaboration among EU reasearchers working on the lesser kestrel

Using locations of >1800 colonies and tracks from 354 individuals, we assessed wind turbine exposure for Lesser Kestrels in EU and Africa.
26% of the EU pop has at least 1 turbine around colony. Sadly, Natura2000 fails to mitigate potential impact

The moon? nooo, a moon-like (unfertile) egg of #lesserkestrel. Fascinating as only nature can be.

In the last two weeks, also the last two of the #lesserkestrel chicks deployed in 2023 reached #Africa. 3 of 8 sadly died in NItaly during the post-breeding period: in nature, up to 50% of chicks normally die during the first year of life
