Don't miss the chance to catch the birds in exactly five natural habitats: in meadows, forests, waters, villages and agricultural fields, going through the six birdwatching routes. If you are lucky, you will be able to catch on target the grouse (Oriolus oriolus), the blackbird (Merops apiaster), the blue gull (Alcedo atthis) and the great egret (Casmerodius albus) - some of the rarest species.
