Until now I was under the
impression that there are no birds at all in Italy, they having been shot,
trapped or otherwise captured and eaten, and apart from in the Alps, have
never noticed any birds on several passages through that country.
Is it true that Italy is
the only country in the world not to have organised bird tours because there
are none to see?
With five minutes research on the Web I found that the rumour that there's
nothing to see is completely wrong. Italy forms a land bridge between
Europe and Africa and over 500 species can be seen there.
Best single page I found was
http://www.fatbirder.com/links_geo/europe/italy.html
The one link I found to bird tours in Italy was broken, but there was at
least one at the time the page was built!
