Descrizione
Fascia di Rispetto di Genova Prà. In winter and summer this park is not worth a visit since only common and urban birds are present. Pettirosso, Merlo, Cornacchia grigia, Taccola, Gabbiano reale, Verdone, Ballerina bianca, can be found throughout the year. Gheppio is present too but less common, and a Parrocchetto dal collare colony is now stable. During spring migration this place turns into a targeted stop for trans-Saharan passerines. You can find Stiaccino, Balia nera, Codirosso and Pigliamosche perched on top of lampposts, stakes and benches while birds like Sterpazzola, Sterpazzolina and Sterpazzolina di Moltoniare hidden inside bushes, or eat bugs on top of trees such as Quercus ilex or Quercus suber, together with Cannaiola, Cannaiola verdognola, and other acrocephalus birds. The latter is particularly appreciated from insectivorous birds. Some years ago it was possible to see up to eight or nine different species, moving from branch to branch. On top of one tree I personally saw Cannaiola, Cannareccione, Forapaglie comune, Beccafico, Canapino comune, Canapino maggiore, Sterpazzola, Sterpazzolina di Moltoni, Sterpazzolina, and other birders saw Bigiarella, Luì verde and Torcicollo. A noteworthy species to mention is the Assiolo , but it was seen only once, resting on a tree.
Averla capirossa and Averla piccola stays on shrubs and are a regular presence during spring migration, together with Usignolo, whose beautiful song can be heared. On the grass you may find Cutrettola of different subspecies (flava and cinerocapilla the commonest among the others) and Torcicollo. If you are really lucky also Zigolo capinero can be found in late May/early June (1 the 2012/06/29, 2 (m+f) the 2013/06/1-2). Needless to say, the sky is covered with migrant Gruccione, Rondine, Balestruccio and Rondone comune and for this reason Lodolaio can be observed. Also Falco cuculo is a regular presence.
Irregular and vagrant species need to be included too:
- during pandemic a Ghiandaia marina was seen on a lamppost (2020/05/28). It was the first sighting of Coracias garrulus in the park, but in the upper hills the species is a regular migrant (6 together in May).
- Storno roseo may occur during its periodical invasion in late May. They can be seen feeding on mulberries or sour cherry trees. (2018/05/29)
- a Zigolo minore was seen 2018/04/16. Emberiza pusilla is a vagrant bird in Liguria region.
The surrounding area is noteworthy too: from the canal wooden bridge you may see Tarabusino (regular presence) and Airone rosso. Other heron species like Airone guardabuoi, Airone cenerino, Airone bianco maggiore fly in formation above the canal and the city. The canal, which full name is Canale di calma di Pràm is a nice spot also in winter. Strolaga minore is a regular winter species, and Orco marino was a special guest during December 2017. Also, Gabbiano comune, Gabbiano reale are present.
The area near the ecological island is a real hidden gem, having hosted migrant passerines such as Ortolano (more than five together!), Forapaglie comune, Prispolone, Cutrettola, Falco cuculo, Lodolaio, Sterpazzola and also a pair of Fagiano comune during pandemic. You can make a stop here, but I doubt this place will host again such a wide variety of species. May is the perfect month to admire Falco pecchiaiolo migration: if you are lucky enough and the wheather condition is good, you can sit on the park bench and see flocks of raptors flying above the city. Also, Nibbio bruno, Biancone and Aquila minore are regular migrant raptors that you can spot from March to May.
