A 4 days tour to Białowieża Forest in search of birds and mammals.
We will focus on the bird rarities of the primeval forest. This includes looking for woodpeckers (8 species- inlcuding Three-toed, White-backed, Grey-headed and Black), Pygmy Owl, Nutcracker and Hazel Grouse. Until the beginning of October there will be also a possibility to observe eagles – Lesser Spotted and Greater Spotted.
During the trip we will also search for mammals like European Bison, Elk (Moose), European Beaver and large carnivores (Wolves and Lynx). September is also a rutting time for Red Deers.
My post from September two years ago could give you an idea of what wildlife is like at this time of year.
