Description
Mignattaio (Plegadis falcinellus)
Attualmente la popolazione nidificante di mignattaio in Italia è rara e molto localizzata: le 12 coppie sono distribuite in Piemonte, Puglia e Sardegna. Le principali minacce consistono nel bracconaggio e nella distruzione dell’habitat.
Il mignattaio è una specie gregaria per l’intero corso dell’anno e le sue colonie si uniscono spesso con altre specie di ciconiformi. Vive in stagni e paludi dove si ciba di insetti, molluschi, crostacei e piccoli vertebrati che cattura setacciando il fango delle acque basse. Nidifica sugli alberi e nei canneti sia lungo le paludi d’acqua dolce e salmastra, ricche di vegetazione, sia in boschi igrofili di latifoglie. Entrambi i genitori partecipano alla costruzione del nido e alla cura della prole inetta I giovani si involano dopo circa 28 giorni dalla schiusa delle uova (da 1 a 4), covate da entrambi i genitori per un periodo di 21 giorni. In seguito i giovani si disperdono per poi migrare preferibilmente separati dagli adulti.
Glossy ibis (Plegadis falcinellus)
Currently, the glossy ibis breeding population in Italy is rare and highly localized: the 12 pairs are distributed in Piedmont, Puglia and Sardinia. The main threats are to poaching and habitat destruction.
The glossy ibis is a gregarious species for the whole year and its colonies will often combine with other species of ciconiformi. He lives in ponds and marshes where it feeds on insects, molluscs, crustaceans and small vertebrates captured by sifting the mud of shallow water. It nests in trees and reeds and along the freshwater and brackish marshes, rich in vegetation, both in deciduous forests hygrophilous. Both parents participate in nest building and care of young children inept I flies after about 28 days after hatching (from 1 to 4), incubated by both parents for a period of 21 days. Later, the young disperse and then migrate preferably separated from adults.
