This issue of our magazine is entirely dedicated to the bearded vulture. We’ve been waiting for this moment for many years: finally, the bearded vulture has returned to nest in Ticino! 72 full-color pages, the story of its eradication from Italian-speaking Switzerland and its return, a seven-year field journal leading up to the first confirmed nesting.

Ficedula members who are up to date with their membership dues are eligible to receive a free copy of this magazine—while supplies last.
