In this ending 2018 I started to study waterbird movements. One of the project is related to the Purple heron and we tagged one individual last summer with a GPS-GSM. This young bird spent months in the area where it was born until a hunter shot it. This happened a few weeks ago and have left me and my colleagues really sad for this criminal act. However we will go on with the project for sure despite this event. Here below a picture of a Purple heron, the tagged juvenile with my colleague Michelangelo Morganti and the radiography.
