Beschrijving

De viewpoint of Gradina del Poggio in Monte Cònero Regional Park is a special place. Every year, at the arrival of spring, the same spectacle is repeated: the passage of thousands of birds of prey and other soaring birds on Mount Conero. The headland located within the park of the same name, is in fact one of the main landmarks for birds of prey that, from wintering areas, migrate to the European nesting territories. The Conero is considered the second most important migration site in Italy, after the Strait of Messina, for the spring migration of birds of prey.

The Park is ranked in the national top ten in Italy as a site for birdwatching. During the months of April and May you can sometimes admire more than 1000 birds of prey in a single day. You can see many Wespendief, Slangenarend and Bruine Kiekendief, but also Eleonora's Valk, Roodpootvalk, Boomvalk. Besides raptors also Kraanvogel, Zwarte Ooievaar and Ooievaar are sometimes seen here on passage.
