Still, a handful of our regular breeders \u2013 Little Bittern, Marsh Warbler, and Reed Warbler \u2013 have yet to be seen; perhaps they are late. The air is filled with the songs of Nightingales, Golden Orioles, and Cuckoos. A Hoopoe is singing as well: should it stay on to breed, it will be a first for La Cassinazza.
\nOur Common Tern colony, small as it may be, is a hive of activity. At least eight pairs have occupied the nesting platforms, and I expect the first eggs any day now.
\nWith the onset of warmer weather, I can finally share photos of wildlife other than birds. Of course, La Cassinazza is a haven for birds, especially waterbirds, but after an endless series of photos dedicated to them, it\u2019s time for a change of scenery.<\/p>\n
The garish Elephant Hawk Moth Deilephila elpenor is particularly fond of honeysuckle blossoms.<\/p>\n
