“…In our case, factors influencing the site selection may be: the suitable habitat for raising a brood successfully; the pre-existing shorebirds colony; the low human disturbance due to the regional protected nesting area and the exceptionally favourable weather conditions, in terms of absence of heavy storms, high temperatures and low precipitations rate (ARPA FVG, 2022). The Marano and Grado Lagoon encloses a complex mosaic of habitats (Cosolo et al, 2015;Regione Autonoma Friuli Venezia Giulia, 2018), that play an important role on Collared pratincole foraging behaviour (Calvo, 1996). Individuals of many species may choose their nest sites also on the basis of the presence of other animals, avoiding in this way nest loss (Caro, 2005).…”

“…It is one of the most important salty ecosystems at Mediterranean scale (BirdLife International, 2022b) and it is an important wintering and breeding site for waterbirds at international level (Zenatello et al, 2014;Regione Autonoma Friuli Venezia Giulia, 2018). The lagoon encompasses a complex mosaic of ecosystems such as shallow brackish water, mudflats and sandflats without vegetation, mudflats and sandflats colonized by Salicornia spp., saltmarshes, coastal sand dunes, reed habitats, extensive fish farms (Cosolo et al, 2015;Regione Autonoma Friuli Venezia Giulia, 2018). The Marano and Grado lagoon is protected towards the sea by a peculiar system of five sandy barrier islands (Martignano, Sant'Andrea, Anfora, d'Orio and Tratauri).…”

The Collared Pratincole Glareola pratincola has a large and fragmented breeding distribution in the Palearctic. In Italy it is an uncommon migrant breeder and the breeding sites are very patchily distributed and irregularly used, with most frequent occurrences in the N Adriatic, N Apulia, Campania, Sardinia and Sicily. We report a new breeding site for the species along the northern Adriatic coastline in the Marano and Grado Lagoon (Friuli Venezia Giulia region, NE Italy), which represents the first breeding evidence for the Friuli Venezia Giulia region.

The advantages derived from the use of Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are well-established: they are cost-effective and easy to use. There are numerous environmental applications, particularly when monitoring contexts characterized by rapid morphological changes and high rates of sediment transport, such as coastal areas. In this paper, three different case studies of survey and monitoring with high resolution and accuracy obtained through the use of UAVs are presented; these concern transgressive coastal sites. Results allow for the definition and quantification of coastal landforms and processes, including: (i) The anatomy of a parabolic dune and the rate of landward migration that could interfere with a tourist settlement; (ii) The mode and timing of morphological recovery and realignment of a barrier island overwashed by storm surge episodes; and (iii) The potential flood risk of a progradational spit that is a nesting site of a species of migratory breeding birds of conservation concern. The results demonstrate and confirm that, through a good coupling of drone-sensed quality data and accurate topographic control, quantitative estimates that are useful in assessing the impacts of natural processes involving both human and natural assets can be obtained.
