ABSTRACTTen years of ornithological research at Lake Frassino (located near Peschiera del Garda, Verona, Italy) have produced a check-list of the birds dwelling at this Site of Community Importance (S.I.C.) to be produced. Our surveys have revealed that this water basin where ducks stop almost exclusively during the day represents, together with nearby Lake Garda, the most important wintering area for Tufted Duck (Aythyafuligula) in Italy.Key-words: Check-list, Lake Frassino, Tufted Duck (Aythya fuligula), Pochard (Aythya ferina), wintering.RIASSUNTODieci anni di ricerca ornitologica al Laghetto del Frassino hanno permesso di redigere una check-list completa delle specie ornitiche che frequentano questo sito d’importanza comunitaria (S.I.C.), situato nel Comune di Peschiera del Garda (Verona, Italia). Le osservazioni hanno rivelato che questo bacino idrico, frequentato quasi esclusivamente in periodo diurno, rappresenta in stretta connessione con il vicino Lago di Garda, l’area di svernamento più importante in Italia per la Moretta (Aythya fuligula).Parole chiave: Check-list, Laghetto del Frassino, Moretta (Aythya fuligula), Moriglione (Aythya ferina), svernamento.
