Birding

Biebrza National Park protects one of the most important wetland and peatland landscapes in Europe, famous for marsh birds, broad sedge meadows, moose, and huge open-country atmosphere. It is strongest for birders and wildlife photographers who want spring migration, booming marsh birds, and a less crowded but still globally notable European wetland destination.
