Poland – the paradise for birds and bird watchers

With some 40,000 nesting pairs, Poland seems to have the largest population of white stork worldwide.

The most numerous flocks are found in the regions of Warmia and Masuria. There are such villages as Lejdy and Lywkowo in Masuria that boast up to forty nests each, and the birds can be watched from special viewing platforms.

Black stork is the white stork’s close relative. It used to be very rare in Poland, but recently its population has considerably increased. Very scarce in western Europe, the black stork attracts to Poland many foreign bird watchers.
