Subjects : In the Oasis there is a shed where there are very comfortable 4 people, you can also get to 6 people but you have to squeeze. From the shed you can photograph different species of birds typical of wetlands, for example: The Mallard, the Cormorant, the Grey Heron, the Cruiser, the Great and the Blue, the Tufted, the Robin, the Blackcap, the Great Spotted Woodpecker, the Kingfisher, the Water Rail, the Gallinella, the Tuffetto, sometimes also Pheasants, Water snakes and otters, the Chaffinch and the Redstart.

Recommended equipment : I recommend 300 mm multiplied or greater than 600 mm, if you are lucky enough to find some nearby specimen just a 300 mm but otherwise there are no large perches so the birds tend to get on the branches stationed on the side where they are periodically supplied with feed. The Oasis is rather in the shade so I recommend equipment where you can raise the ISO without major disturbances.

Best months : In the summer to get mosquito repellent for the rest the birds follow the seasons so depending on when they nest you can find all especially the sedentary. The Kingfisher, the Heron and the birds are always there, the cormorant and the water rail are found from November to March.

How to get there : From the Bergamo tollbooth take the indication Valle Seriana, 1st exit from the tollbooth, continue until the junction for Passo della Presolana, it is easy to understand why it is where the lanes are reduced from 2 to one, from there pass the Montenegrone tunnel and exit at Albino follow the road to the roundabout and take a left then from there continue for about one km and turn left following the signs for the sports field, arrived at the sports field there is the parking lot and on the left the entrance of the Oasis passing over a bridge.

Visits : The Oasis is always open and there is no need to pay any ticket for entry or for the convenient parking at 150 meters.

Notes : The Oasis is mainly managed by volunteers who take care of setting up the perches and cleaning the weeds, unfortunately sometimes it happens that they have to clean the remains of some uncivilized who causes damage to the perches or stops at night in the shed to party ..... For the rest the area is quiet as it is passing on the walk of the whole oasis. In spring the Oasis allows you to visit the butterfly garden which is located not far from the shed and where you can photograph flowers and butterflies, so I recommend a macro lens always in your backpack.
