Tuscany, Italy 2nd - 16th August 2009 
- Our let had a very extensive back yard, with an olive orchard and a bit of scrub. I was most surprised to see five Hoopoes strutting around our back door one morning, but they turned out to be regular visitors. I also found Wryneck, Woodchat Shrike....George Watola reports.
Northern Italy16th-17th
May 2006
- The main purpose of this trip was one for those
with a rather acquired taste – namely Ashy-throated Parrotbill
and Northern Bobwhite – but with two previous visits to the country
this year, I realised that Italy as a birding destination is certainly
underrated and decided to explore this beautiful country once again...Richard
Bonser reports.
Corsica and Sardinia 29th
April - 2nd May 2006
- Mark Lopez and I visited the islands of Corsica
and Sardinia for 4 days in late April and early May 2006. The prime reason
for our visit was to target the two endemic species that are present
on Corsica – Corsican Nuthatch
and Corsican Citril Finch – as well as observing Marmora’s
Warbler and the many endemic or near endemic forms or races that occur
on these islands...Richard Bonser reports
Italy 8th
- 9th April 2006
- I had long been keen to see one of the few true
European endemics, Rock Partridge, and this formed the basis for what was
to turn out to be one of the most enjoyable birding weekends that I’ve
had in a long while....Richard Bonser reports.
Sicily 27/11/03
– 03/12/03
- This trip was not a real birding trip but just a trip
to visit the Island. Nevertheless I tried as much as possible to spend little
times looking at birds here and there during the visit...Thibaud Daumal
reports
Sardinia 13th -
27th September 2003
- South of Olbia is a fair sized lagoon called Stagno di
San Teodoro. We first got access to the north here along a rough access road
from the village of La Fraili marked "Della Pescharia" The employee of the
fish farm at the end of the track, was happy to let us bird watch on the farm
premises...John & Sue Roberts report.
Sardinia Late
June, 2001
- Sardinia is an easy place to bird with an excellent road
system. With careful planning it should be possible to see all the key species
within 3 days. I went in late June and already the Sylvia warblers were not
responding to tape...Steve Webb reports
Italy Trip Report June-July,
2001
- I knew that Italy is not the best place for birding in
Europe, and while my total count was low (68 species seen) I did manage to
see some truly beautiful birds. As always, the process of birding added greatly
to the experience of being in another country...Jack Stephens reports.
Sardinia May 2001
- Yet another non-birding holiday on the continent
- or so Linda thought. The following is not terribly organised, merely notes
from my bird diary so you're going to get birds of note merely as they appeared
to us chronologically....Eric Hocking reports
