About me:
I lives in Cagliari, in the south of Sardinia. He working as a freelance guide for about 25 years for different associations and companies either Italian and other Europeans for ornithological and bird watching trips in Sardinia and North Africa. He has studied birds in many countries across Europe, North Africa and the Middle East area.
In Sardinia, I have acquired an unique experience above the birds of the island and discovering new breeding species (some of which: Phoenicopterus roseus and Bubulcus ibis which were on the Italian news), and numerous rarities. He also published the Checklist of birds of Sardinia (1996, 2001 and 2022) and he is the president of the Ornithological Sardinian Group (GOS) and the Editor of the ornithological magazine in the Island "Aves Ichnusae".
In Sardinia c. 470 different species of birds have been recorded, and you can easily watch birds that are rare elsewhere in Italy, such as Glareola pratincola, Gelochelidon nilotica, Falco eleonorae, Netta rufina, Larus genei, Larus audouinii, Alectoris barbara, Porphyrio porphyrio, Tetrax tetrax, Gyps fulvus, Plegadis falcinellus, Sylvia sarda, Sylvia conspicillata and Serinus corsicana. About 150.000 waterbirds regularly winter in the wetlands, among them Grus grus, Aythya nyroca, and Pandion haliaetus.
