Descrizione
Despite being so close to apartment blocks the channel and its surrounding areas are good places for casual birdwatching. During the colder months it's possible to see Germano reale and Smergo maggiore on the lowest part of the channel. Some kind souls have set small bird feeders on the trees close to the channel as well and it's possible to see the common Passera Europea, Cinciallegra and Cinciarella eating there. The occasional Picchio rosso minore has been seen in the area too.
When the spring migration season comes groups of Oca facciabianca arrive to the grass area next to the channel. They'll also raise their young by the channel during the summer too. As summer approaches, it's possible to see Quattrocchi in the channel as well. There have been Quattrocchi and Germano reale ducklings on the middle level of the channel on multiple summers too. They often sleep on the rock close to the top waterfall. Gavina , Gabbiano comune , Gabbiano reale nordico , Zafferano and Sterna comune are frequent visitors on the channel during summer. Numerous Rondone comune and Rondine also fly around the channel area and if one's lucky they might spot them collecting mud for their nests by the rocks on the lowest part of the channel. Beccaccia di mare has also been seen foraging on the grass areas and some lucky birders have seen them bring their chicks there too. Fanello and Cardellino like to forage for food in the area. Sparviere can also be spotted here.
While not a bird, it's also worth to mention that on warm summer nights it's possible to spot bats hunting on top of the water too.
