2012 tours updated!

Choose one of the following dates:

April - sorry, fully booked already...
May 8-13
May 14-19
May 21-26
May 28 - June 2


Don't know when to go?

March is simply the best time ever for all species of woodpeckers. Also massive flocks of geese and ducks.

April for woodpeckers, owls and April adds plenty of migrating waterfowls and raptors.

Early May has all of the above (but worse for woodpeckers) plus displaying ruffs and great snipes on the lek! And mid-May brings late warblers: especially aquatic, river and barred. Plus flycatchers - collared and red-breasted, 4 species of marshy terns, bee eaters, rollers etc.

June or late May is still good for raptors, terns, aquatic warbler and bee-eaters but you may miss great snipes and woodpeckers, as they will be hardly visible, because of dense foliage and tall grass at this time of year.
