Poland
The importance of Poland lays in its large natural habitats. In the east, there are several large forests. Most famous is Białowieża, the last deciduous woods in Europe which have never been managed by mankind. There are raptors, hazelhen, owls, woodpeckers, flycatchers, as well as large mammals, like European Bison. Several river valleys, notably Vistula (Wisła); Narew, Bug, Warta and Oder (Odra); have wide flood lands or sandy islands full of water birds and waders. Marshes along Biebrza are the largest wetland in Europe, with large populations of Aquatic Warbler, Spotted Eagle, Great Snipe and White-winged Black Tern among over 200 species. There are mountains in the south, notably Taras (Tatry) and Bieszczady, with raptors and alpine species like Wallcreeper. Northern Poland is dotted with lakes and forests and is very important for waterfowl and migrating birds especially the Bay of Gdańsk and large fishponds (like Milicz) and reservoirs (Słońsk, Turawski, Mietkowski). The northeast has several eastern specialities on the edge of their range such as Citrine Wagtail and Greenish Warbler. Much of the countryside is still low-intensity farmland teeming with birds. White Storks, Corncrakes and many other birds can be found everywhere, even on the outskirts of cities. Poland has about 3.000 birdwatchers and ornithologists, not much for a country of this size. Bird-related movement is organized mainly around biology departments of universities. Many birdwatchers collect data on bird distribution and numbers, and work in several conservation organizations. Most active are North Podlasie Society of Bird Protection (Północnopodlaskie Towarzystwo Ochrony Ptaków) caring for the north-eastern region, Nature Conservation Society Salamandra, and Eagle Conservation Committee. With so many habitats with breeding birds, twitching and listing in Poland is less popular. Rushing to the opposite end of country for a particular rarity is almost unheard of. Therefore, Polish Rarities Commitee (Komisja Faunistyczna) often receives its records rather late. There is as yet no birdline, but there is active national birding list PTAKI (birds). Main language is naturally Polish, but messages in English are also usually understood. PTAKI - Polish bird list. Main language is Polish, but messages in English are understood by Ptaki members.

There is a big variety of species and different species which have become scarce in Western Europe, can still be seen here in good numbers.

2006 [May] - John Parish
http://www.anytimetours.co.uk/poland2006.htmlHelp from a local guide is necessary if the most is to be made of a birding trip to Poland - or, at least, that was the view of our party of past and present Croydon RSPB Group members as we planned a trip to see as many as possible of that country’s avian highlights. Although we had generally been quite successful in finding our own birds during a series of annual visits to other parts of Europe stretching back to the early 1990s, we appreciated that our chances of locating some of Poland’s more sought-after species, such as woodpeckers and owls, would much improve if were able to benefit from an insider’s knowledge of current stake-out sites. In checking for a suitable guide on the internet, we came across Fatbirder’s Anytime Tours website (www.anytimetours.co.uk) and realised that a package including not only guiding, but also transport, accommodation and food doesn’t have to be prohibitively expensive, especially for a group of eight as we eventually turned out to be...

2007 [May] - Gruff Dodd - NE Poland
http://www.birdtours.co.uk/tripreports/poland/poland-11/ne-poland-may-2007.htmThe trip proved to be reasonably successful, with Pygmy Owl and Lesser Spotted Eagle finally being seen. However, I was very disappointed that Great Snipe once again seems to be rather elusive in Poland this year, and a visit to the traditional site at Barwik failed completely. Even more frustratingly, a couple of Hazelhen were heard at Białowieza, but just wouldn’t show...
