Discover Why You Should Choose Danube Delta For Your Next Bird Watching Adventure
Bird watching is one of those great activities where you get out there in the middle of nature to enjoy the scenery and wildlife, and getting a breath of fresh air at the same time. As a nature enthusiast and especially if you’ve been birding for a while, you’re always looking for new places to visit and get a glimpse of the local bird population.
Well, did you know that Europe has one more little gem that you probably overlooked? As everybody who’s seen it knows, it could easily be called a ‘bird paradise’? I’m talking about the Danube Delta. It is the second largest delta in Europe and, from March to October, the bird capital of the world.
For any bird watcher, this is one of those great spots which must be visited at least once in a lifetime. The sheer number of bird species that you’ll find here will make a week long holiday seem much too short.
Danube Delta is the breeding ground for most of the migrating birds that come from the Nile delta and other wet regions of Africa during the summer, which means that starting from March up until late October, there is mind boggling diversity of birds of all shapes, sizes and colors in here. 331 different species in fact, according to the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve Administration.
The most recognizable of all is the White Pelican. Over half the world population lives here, making it the symbol of the Danube Delta.
