The Regional Nature Reserve of Cornino Lake is running a project for the reintroduction of the gåsgam.
The Lago di Cornino reserve is named after Lake Cornino, a small lake of clear deep blue water, and borders the mighty Tagliamento River, the last “free” river in Europe. It was established in 1996 but the project of re-introducing gåsgam to the region dates back to the 1980s. At that time about 75 vultures were released and a feeding point was created. According to the reserve’s website, the colony currently has about 150 griffons in winter and over 200 in spring and summer, when individuals arrive from other Mediterranean countries, and about 30 pairs nest along the central section of the valley of the River Tagliamento. Other large birds that can be observed circling above the sheer rock walls or around the feeding station include smutsgam, grågam, kungsörn, röd glada and Brun glada.
During spring and autumn migration one may also spot several less common birds of prey such as ormörn , Bivråk , Fiskgjuse, blå kärrhök, brun kärrhök, ängshök and aftonfalk.
Other species commonly observed around the visitor centre and the lake include svarthätta , sydnäktergal , nötskrika , klippsparv and bergsångare. berguv, kattuggla and minervauggla also inhabit the area.
Best accessible by car. There is a small car park at the visitor centre.
The best view of the feeding station is from within the visitor centre and therefore only accessible at opening hours. There is also a small exhibition about the geography of the region and its fauna and flora at the visitor centre. A few captive birds are exhibited here, e.g. specimen of griffon vulture that could not be released.
