Description
The protected area of Monte Barco e Santa Colomba is located a short distance from the town of Trento. The area is interesting for birdwatching if you happen to be in the city. The diversification of habitats is the main characteristic of this place. The more different ecotones the more diverse the birds you are going to encounter in this place. Starting with damp woods, it's pretty easy to spot every sort of Tits from our region, starting with цуцулеста сипка and ending with планинска сипка. Other typical birds are both the treecrepers (обичен ползач and краткопрст ползач) and a big variety of woodpecker (сивоглав клукајдрвец is probably the best encounter due to its overall rarity for the italian peninsula in fact it's presence is limited only to the north-easthern alps). In autumn many шумска шљука choose this place to winter. The apex predators in terms of birds are глувчар and јастреб кокошкар even though јастреб врапчар, Шумски (Обичен) був and ушест був are fairy more common in this area. Not really far away I even heard був but I'm not quite sure about its presence in the area (could have been a vagrant specimen). Where the habitat borders the rock quarries if you're lucky enough you can spot spot модар дрозд often hanging out at the edge of the big boulders. In the reed beds many Acrocephalids nests and, standing with old data even some Sylvidae species are present as breeders (Honestly I don't really know, never seen one, but who knows). The best encounter for me is the precious лештарка that is really shy but I spotted it here like three times and it's widespread in the northern part.

Access
The best way to explore the area is on foot or by bike. You can park in Le Gorghe or in Pian del Gàc which are the most interesting areas but you can as well decide to park straight near the middle (Pradi de Mongalina) following a small road used by the lorries in the nearby quarries. Click on a P in the map to get directions to that point.
