Oasi Le Mortine, Venafro
Molise
Where a hydro channel splits the Volturno near Venafro, an island of white poplar, alder and oak has become one of central Italy's best inland bird sites. Flat paths and hides loop the water and marsh, busy with herons, kingfishers and — in winter — large flocks of duck.
