PO VALLEY Photographic Tour

Po River Valley hosts several INNATE reserves that we will visit in this tour.

We will start  from the Italian biggest river Delta and we will go back up to the North exploring the rice fields areas around Vercelli.

Many will be the target birds of this tour: the colourful Bee-eaters and Kingfishers, all the nine European species of Egrets and the wonderful Red squirrels.

We will visit public reserves where local institutions have joined SKUA Nature in a profitable cooperation, embracing their projects in the development of the nature tourism together with conservation and promotion of the territory.

We will also visit private estates, like Cascina Spinola, and this will give us the chance to see which are the great opportunities that wildlife photography offers.

We will take photographs from its latest generation hides facing humid areas.

Many species have chosen this reserve to nest and this is a great goal, considering that all the surrounding lands are cultivated, to the detriment of birds. There are dozens of nesting pairs of Black-winged Stilts, Lapwings, Black-headed Gulls and Yellow Wagtails, and here take refuge hundreds of other waders, terns, herons and egrets.
