observation soon in a new nest…stay tuned…parco gallipoli cognato is about to start monitoring the black stork on another extraordinary nesting site in the Park!!!
(clickable)

A fundamental part of the project concerns the placement of a special camera near two nests. The first nest, now considered "historic" because it has been used successfully by a couple for years, is in the Castelmezzano area and the second is in the Oliveto Lucano area.
Thanks to the images collected, which are available and visible to everyone live, researchers will be able to acquire data useful for studying the behavior of storks at the nest, the times of their arrival, reproduction, reproductive success, feeding, fledging of young people, etc.
Of course, improvements can be made every year in order to optimize the scientific results and dissemination of images through the Internet.
Oliveto Lucano is a town and comune in the province of Matera, in the Southern Italian region of Basilicata.
