Hi all.
Italians abroad are often infamous as bird killers. Really, lots of them when abroad act as ferocious hunters.
But this is another story. The story of a friendly group visiting the Far North, told by Mattia Altieri and Massimo Fedi, Italy:
"A dream comes true for seven of us: a birdwatching trip through the neverending woods of Finland and breathtaking Arctic scenaries of Varangerfjord. From May 19th to June 1st, a group of Italian birdwatchers goes to Scandinavia. Mattia Altieri, Stefano Benucci, Tommaso Campedelli, Giorgio Di Liddo, Massimo Fedi, Lorenzo Vanni and Andrea Vezzani are the members of the expedition...."
To read the full story with quite a few pictures, please visit the portal site of the Italian birdwatching, Birding Italy:

Thanks Menotti.
I've also included your website as one of my Favourites, and will use it for when I visit Italy - hopefully in the near future.
Hi there Menotti, took a bit of finding .... it's under the 'Trip Reports' section.... but well worth the search.
