BIRDWATCHING in North-West Poland

Just two hours north of Berlin there is an impressive list of very easy to watch Central - European birds, which will be a delight to bird-watchers, especially to those, taking their first bird-watching journey to the eastern part of the continent. Here you will find Black Redstart, Icterine Warbler, Golden Oriole, Red backed Shrike, Hawfinch, Crested Tit, both Nightingale and Thrush Nightingale, Hooded Crow, of course, Serin, Crested Lark and even Red Kite, Hobby, Marsh Warbler, Penduline Tit and White spotted Bluethroat, all within the cities boundary. Half an hour by car away from Szczecin the breeding cranes are the most attraction. About ten pairs nest here, but after the breeding season flocks builds up of 300 birds and during autumn migration up of 10.000. Lesser spotted Eagle is a breeding specialty. But the bird of prey which most people want to see here is the White tailed Eagle which breeds near by. They are common in this part of Poland and you are likely to catch sight of one.
