FB Parco Regionale Gallipoli Cognato Piccole Dolomiti Lucane, 23.03.2026 at 12:57

Lโ€™Ente Parco Regionale Gallipoli Cognato Piccole Dolomiti Lucane annuncia con entusiasmo lโ€™inizio della nuova stagione riproduttiva della cicogna nera (Ciconia nigra), una delle specie piรน rare e affascinanti dellโ€™avifauna europea.
In coincidenza con lโ€™inizio della primavera, le cicogne hanno fatto ritorno nel Parco segnando ufficialmente lโ€™avvio di un nuovo ciclo riproduttivo. Un evento atteso e significativo, che conferma ancora una volta il ruolo strategico del territorio del Parco come habitat ideale per questa specie migratrice e particolarmente sensibile ai cambiamenti ambientali.
Da anni lโ€™Ente Parco รจ impegnato in unโ€™intensa attivitร  di monitoraggio delle coppie nidificanti. Questo lavoro รจ condiviso con il pubblico grazie alla webcam attiva su uno dei nidi, che consente a cittadini, appassionati e studiosi di osservare da vicino il comportamento di questa specie.
Tra i progetti piรน innovativi, lo studio di telemetria satellitare, primo in Italia sulla cicogna nera, ha consentito di seguire i movimenti migratori di tre giovani esemplari nati nel 2025 nel territorio del Parco. Monitorate fin dalla nascita e dotate di trasmettitori, le cicogne hanno fornito dati preziosi sulle rotte verso lโ€™Africa, sulle aree di svernamento e sulle strategie di adattamento della specie, offrendo un contributo significativo alla ricerca scientifica e alla conservazione
Il ritorno delle cicogne nel 2026 rinnova quindi lโ€™impegno dellโ€™Ente Parco nella tutela della biodiversitร  e nella promozione della conoscenza ambientale. Allo stesso tempo, rappresenta unโ€™opportunitร  unica per il pubblico di assistere, in tempo reale, a uno dei fenomeni piรน straordinari della natura.
Da oggi รจ possibile osservare le fasi iniziali della nidificazione: la sistemazione del nido, i rituali di corteggiamento e, auspicabilmente, la deposizione delle uova nelle settimane successive, attraverso la diretta disponibile al link

A Black Stork Brings Spring: The 2026 Breeding Season Begins in Gallipoli Cognato Park

The Gallipoli Cognato Piccole Dolomiti Lucane Regional Park is happy to announce the start of the new breeding season for the Black Stork (Ciconia nigra). This is one of the rarest and most beautiful birds in Europe.

With the start of spring, the storks have returned to the Park. This confirms that the Park is a very important habitat for this migratory species, which is very sensitive to environmental changes.

For many years, the Park has monitored the nesting pairs. This work is shared with the public through a live webcam on one of the nests. This allows everyoneโ€”citizens, birdwatchers, and scientistsโ€”to watch the behavior of these birds closely.

One of the most modern projects is a satellite telemetry study. It is the first of its kind in Italy for the Black Stork. This study followed the migration of three young storks born in the Park in 2025. They were fitted with transmitters at birth. These birds provided valuable data about their routes to Africa, where they spend the winter, and how they adapt. This is a big help for scientific research and nature conservation.

The return of the storks in 2026 shows the Park's commitment to protecting biodiversity. It is also a unique chance for the public to see one of nature's most amazing events in real time.

From today, you can watch the start of the nesting: fixing the nest, the courtship rituals, and hopefully, the laying of eggs in the coming weeks. You can watch the live stream here: [https://www.cicognaparcogallipoli.it/cicogna_nera_live]
