SUMMER TOUR

18th to 23th July 2027 (5 nights)

A 6-days tour to Białowieża Forest & Biebrza Marshes in search of mammals, birds and butterflies. During the tour we will mainly focus on showing what wildlife has to offer in summer in NE Poland.
 
This includes looking for mammals – Eurasian Elk, European Bison, Eurasian Beaver, Red Deer and much more (maybe even with a bit of luck Wolf!). Summer is not bad for mammal watching as the population is then most numerous due to raised juveniles, to look for them however we might have early wake-ups and late stay-ons to make te best use of excellent day parts to observe wildlife – sunrise and sunset. Anyway rather quiet middays in summer will allow us to relax a bit in our comfortable hotels.
 
Birds are also high on the list. We will definitely look for local bird rarities that can remain active in summer – seeing woodpeckers, Aquatic Warbler (which should still sing in late July!), Red-backed Shrike, Woodcock, Common Crane or birds of prey (like Lesser-spotted & Greater Spotted Eagles or Honey Buzzard) is very probable.
 
Summer is excellent time to search for butterflies of which over 160 species occurs in Poland. This is the time of emerging of many rarities in NE Poland – Alcon Large Blue, Silver-washed Fritillary, Purple Emperor, Sooty Copper, Violet Copper – just to name a few.
