Poland 14-19th May 2009 
- As we approached the gates, we could hear a Thrush Nightingale singing really loud. We located it deep in a bush, and eventually it came out atop the bush giving good views to everyone and we also had a couple of Hawfinches at this spot....Ray Thorneycroft reports.
North Eastern Poland 18th-25th May 2009
- Right on the edge of the woods we saw our first woodpecker, a male Middle Spotted Woodpecker that performed well, sitting in the road. The woods also held Golden Oriole and Icterine and Garden Warblers...Ben Eaton reports.

Poland - Biebrza
Marhes and Białowieża Forest 18-28
May 2007
- All around songs and calls of birds:
Thrush Nightingales, well hidden in the bushes, and Icterine
Warblers, from the top of the huge Poplars and Cherry-trees
that line the track, make the musical backgrounds for Marsh,
River and Grasshopper Warblers.....Ernesto G. Occhiato reports

Eastern Poland, May
9th - 16th 2007
- The
next morning we started a short walk into a nearby park at
5.45 am and were rewarded for the early start by an amazing
number of what were for us rare birds. I saw 9 Wrynecks,
in the trees & on the ground...Alec Cheney reports
Poland: May 2007
- Near the village of Strekowa Gora we saw
numerous white-winged terns hawking over the wet meadows and
small pools and this site also produced drumming snipe, redshank,
greenshank and a single gargeney...Ken Musgrove reports
North East Poland 5
- 6 May 2007
- Having been gradually working my way
through the list of European species, by the beginning of
May 2007 I was down to my last 5 species. 4 of these (Great
Snipe, Hazelhen, Pygmy Owl and Lesser Spotted Eagle) were
available in NE Poland....Gruff Dodd reports.
Poland 24
May – 2 June 2006
- This report covers a 10-day visit
to Poland.
Poland still offers some of the best birding in Eastern
Europe. Several species of birds that have become uncommon or
extinct in the industrialized and agricultural parts of Western
Europe can still be observed in those areas of Poland...Jan
Vermeulen reports.
Western Poland19
– 23 May 2004
- Near the border with Germany is an important
wetland in western Poland teeming with birds. This is the Ujscie
Warty National Park ("Warta River-Mouth" National Park) situated
in the historical delta of the Warta River mouth in the area of
the Lubuskie Voivodship....Jan Vermeulen reports.
Eastern Europe Bird Trip
Summer 2003
- Along the Dunajec, just west of Sromowce,
we observed lots of Pontic Gulls. A Sparrowhawk and 3 Hobbies
were hunting above the mountain slopes near the Dunajec. A Black
Stork circled on the other site of the river, above Slovakia.
A very interesting gull stood in the middle of the river: an adult
Baltic Gull. This is a species that is very scarce in this region
in summer...Kasper Hendriks and Rob van Bemmelen
report.
Southern Poland, Owls and
Woodpeckers 22 May-1 June 2003
- Most people who go birding in Poland usually
head straight for the well-documented sites at Bialowieza and
Biebrza, but with a week free at the end of May I thought I would
try something different and visit the southern part of the country
for owls and woodpeckers...Andrew Pearson reports
Eastern Poland 01/05/02-
11/05/02
- On his excellent informative website, Jerzy
Dyczkowski presents and recommends Eastern Poland in such a way
that a birder cannot resist. We can only testify: Jerzy does not
exaggerate. The varied biotope of the last remaining primeval
forest in Europe at Bialowieza, the vast Siemianówka reservoir
and the marshes of the Biebrza River guarantees indeed a large
variety of rare birds in large quantities. A birder must do the
trip to this "birding-Mecca" at least once in his life....Roos
Deman and Guido Desmarets report
Birding trip to NE-Poland 23
– 27 May 2001
- Birding in Poland in the month of May is
a must for every European birder. 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. The Polish countryside
is still authentic and full of birds, wildlife and wildflowers...Ignaas
Robbe reports
Eastern Poland 25/05/00
- 03/06/00.
-
Basically this trip report is the tale of
a 10 day 'rip', by car, across Europe into and around Eastern
Poland concentrating on The Bialowieza Forest and Biebrza marshes.
Main targets were Great snipe and Aquatic warbler and of course
the great forest itself. Dave Gosney's 'Finding birds in Poland'
should give you all the specific site information that is needed...Andy
& Jackie Mckee report.
NW Poland, around the Szczecin and Swinoujscie
area. 15-17/7/00
- Just got back from a long weekend to NW Poland,
around the Szczecin and Swinoujscie area. Despite only managing
one full day birding (Sunday 16.7.00), plus a few hours in the
evening of Saturday 15.7.00 and a brief excursion on 17.7.00,
I managed some great birds....Gruff Dodd reports
Birdwatching trip to Poland
August 1999
- This is the birdwatching trip report of a
trip done in Poland by four Catalan birdwatchers, from the 15th
until the 28th of August of 1999...We slept in a tent,
in camping sites or free camping, depending on the site. In Poland,
it was quite complicated to eat for reasonable prices outside
of big cities...Arnau Bonan Barfull reports
Western Poland July
19-27 1997
-
Already during that evening, along the
road to Gorzow Wlkp., it was clear that something was going
on with the population of White Storks and Cranes. Several birds
were spotted along the road and also from the bus...Belgian
birder Dirk Raes reports from a flooded Poland
Karsiborska Kepa NR, NW
Poland 15-18

Karsiborska Kepa Nature Reserve in the
Swiny Estuary in far NW. Poland is the first reserve of OTOP,
the Polish Society for the Protection of Birds, established
in 1995 to protect a major breeding ground of the Aquatic Warbler
as well as other wetland species. It is also a good area for
White-tailed Eagle, another species we wanted to see...Bill
Smith reports on his brief stopover in Poland.
