    [description] => 
Our visit to Lithuania, the southernmost of the Baltic States, coincides with the peak of spring. The country’s superb range of scarce and localised birds will be in their breeding finery and in full song. We will explore the Nemunas Delta, with its impressive array of breeding rarities, such as Citrine Wagtail. We then cross to the extraordinary Curonian Spit, a long, narrow (up to 3.8km wide) neck of land between the Baltic and the huge (1,619km2) freshwater Curonian Lagoon. Far inland at the Aukštaitija National Park, north-east of Vilnius, we will enjoy the complete contrast of the peaceful taiga forest and lakes, with a whole new suite of species to look out for.

Rich diversity of habitats, including coastal delta, meadows, raised bogs and taiga forest.
Bird the fabulous Nemunas Delta, looking for breeding rarities such as Citrine Wagtail and Greater Spotted Eagle.
Boat ride across to the sand-dune dominated Cunonian Spit, 98km long yet as little as 400m wide in places.
Good chance of seeing Elk on the Spit.
Curious mixture of breeding birds here includes Tawny Pipit and Red-breasted Flycatcher.
Most of Europe’s woodpecker species can be found in Aukštaitija National Park.
Superb lakeland scenery, with breeding divers and grebes.

    [introduction] => A 9-day tour in search of migrant and breeding birds, as well as other wildlife, amongst the varied habitats of scenic Lithuania.

                    [description] => 
The southernmost of the “Baltic States”, Lithuania is becoming an increasingly popular birding destination, owing to its unspoilt nature, excellent infrastructure and superb variety of species, some rare and localised. Wherever you go in the country, you are never far from an excellent birding site, be it one of the myriad lakes, forests, rich meadows or marshes. It is still under-watched, so some sites are out there waiting to be discovered.


The birding hub of the country is the south-west, particularly the Nemunas Delta, a maze of freshwater rivers and tributaries, reedbeds, channels, mixed forests and raised bogs and a veritable paradise for birds. The Delta spills into the huge Curonian Lagoon, replete with wildfowl and bordered by an extraordinary geographical quirk, the Curonian Spit, a narrow strip of dune-land that runs south-west for 98km into Russian Kaliningrad and is never wider than 3.8km. This can be superb for visible migration in autumn or spring.
 
Further inland, you can almost take your pick of taiga forest sites, but Aukštaitija National Park near Vilnius is both richly scenic and bird-filled.

                    [content] => 
Lithuania is a surprisingly beautiful country, as well as a wonderful location in which to watch wildlife throughout the year. Its landscapes comprise a diverse mix of lowland bogs, river valleys, agricultural fields, lake systems and vast tracts of taiga forest. On this new tour we will explore both the coastal habitats in the west of the country and the forests of the east, aiming to experience the best spring birding that Lithuania has to offer.
Ventė Cape will be our base for the first three nights of the holiday, as we explore the Nemunas Delta. During early morning walks from our hotel we will look for such species as Barred Warbler and White Stork, whilst excursions further afield to the delta’s islands, marshlands, raised bogs and meadows may yield Citrine Wagtail, Whiskered Tern, Montagu’s Harrier and Greater Spotted Eagle. Near Rusne Island we will look for some of eastern Europe’s most sought-after species, including Aquatic Warbler. Leaving the delta, we will head for Curonian Spit, where we will stay for two nights near the village of Nida. To get there, a lagoon-crossing by boat will give us the chance to look for White-tailed Eagles. The spit offers us some interesting landscapes to explore. Tawny Pipit, Hobby and Velvet Scoter may often be seen near the Juodkrantė ringing station and the nearby woodlands are home to Redbreasted Flycatcher. Elk, the largest of the world’s cervids, are also regularly seen here, and we will be looking out for this impressive mammal as we explore the Grey Dunes.
Moving on, we next travel across Lithuania from west to east, appreciating the diversity of the countryside en route. The destination for our final three nights is Aukštaitija National Park, a region clothed in taiga forest, wetlands and meadows dotted with quaint old villages. Morning walks from Miškiniškės (our characterful hotel) may produce Black, Grey-headed, Whitebacked and Three-toed Woodpeckers, whilst an evening visit to the forests may reveal a diminutive Pygmy Owl. Black-throated Divers and Slavonian Grebes breed on the nearby lakes and wetlands and Corncrakes call from the adjacent meadows. We may also be fortunate enough to see one of Lithuania’s few breeding European Rollers before we make our way back to Vilnius for our flight home.

Highlights

• Rich diversity of habitats, including coastal delta, meadows, raised bogs and taiga forest.
• Bird the fabulous Nemunas Delta, looking for breeding rarities such as Citrine Wagtail and Greater Spotted Eagle.
• Boat ride across to the sand-dune dominated Cunonian Spit, 98km long yet as little as 400m wide in places.
• Good chance of seeing Elk on the Spit.
• Curious mixture of breeding birds here includes Tawny Pipit and Red-breasted Flycatcher.
• Most of Europe’s woodpecker species can be found in Aukštaitija National Park.
• Superb lakeland scenery, with breeding divers and grebes.

Summary

Lithuania is a surprisingly beautiful country, as well as a wonderful location in which to watch wildlife throughout the year. Its landscapes comprise a diverse mix of lowland bogs, river valleys, agricultural fields, lake systems and vast tracts of taiga forest. On this new tour we will explore both the coastal habitats in the west of the country and the forests of the east, aiming to experience the best spring birding that Lithuania has to offer.

Ventė Cape will be our base for the first three nights of the holiday, as we explore the Nemunas Delta. During early morning walks from our hotel we will look for such species as Barred Warbler and White Stork, whilst excursions further afield to the delta’s islands, marshlands, raised bogs and meadows may yield Citrine Wagtail, Whiskered Tern, Montagu’s Harrier and Greater Spotted Eagle. Near Rusne Island we will look for some of eastern Europe’s most sought-after species, including Aquatic Warbler. Leaving the delta, we will head for Curonian Spit, where we will stay for two nights near the village of Nida. To get there, a lagoon-crossing by boat will give us the chance to look for White-tailed Eagles. The spit offers us some interesting landscapes to explore. Tawny Pipit, Hobby and Velvet Scoter may often be seen near the Juodkrantė ringing station and the nearby woodlands are home to Redbreasted Flycatcher. Elk, the largest of the world’s cervids, are also regularly seen here, and we will be looking out for this impressive mammal as we explore the Grey Dunes.

Moving on, we next travel across Lithuania from west to east, appreciating the diversity of the countryside en route. The destination for our final three nights is Aukštaitija National Park, a region clothed in taiga forest, wetlands and meadows dotted with quaint old villages. Morning walks from Miškiniškės (our characterful hotel) may produce Black, Grey-headed, Whitebacked and Three-toed Woodpeckers, whilst an evening visit to the forests may reveal a diminutive Pygmy Owl. Black-throated Divers and Slavonian Grebes breed on the nearby lakes and wetlands and Corncrakes call from the adjacent meadows. We may also be fortunate enough to see one of Lithuania’s few breeding European Rollers before we make our way back to Vilnius for our flight home.

Focus

The main focus of this tour will be birds, although time will also be taken for other wildlife too.
