Description
Dabbling ducks, herons, grebes, tufted ducks and pochards are just some of the names of the 43 waterfowl species recorded, which winter in Trentino in lakes such as Lake Cavedine, Lake Toblino and Lake Levico, but also in the alluvial plains (now biotopes) of the Rotaliana and Valsugana or along watercourses such as the Brenta. This is a significant number if we consider the rather harsh winter weather conditions that are usual in our province: data emerging from surveys conducted since the 1990s by the staff of the Autonomous Province of Trento's Forestry Stations in collaboration with the Museum of Science's Vertebrate Zoology Section and numerous enthusiasts from environmentalist associations and even members of the local hunters' sections. Everything is presented in this publication accompanied by splendid images, where each species surveyed is given a descriptive card useful for its recognition in nature. Not the least of the aims is to teach bird watching, while at the same time inviting people to visit places of great naturalistic interest with respect.
