Croatia is, as a
continental, mountainous and Mediterranean country, rich in various
species of birds. Many of these species are today rare and endangered
in Europe. For the birders, mostly interesting would be the coastal
area, where different Mediterranean varieties can be spotted.
Croatia is on the
central and partially west-European migration corridors. In the
spring and in the fall, intensive migrations take place in the
most of the coastal habitats, especially of raptors. The coast
is also an important wintering area for a large number of species.
The protected areas
of the coast are of special interest, such as the Nature Park
Velebit, Nature Park Vransko Lake, National Park Paklenica, ornithological
reserve Velo and Kolansko blato on the island of Pag, and the
territory of the river Zrmanja, therefore we have chosen exactly
these areas for our program, that includes 7 nights in double
rooms in a tri-star hotel, 3 meals per day (breakfast and dinner
in the hotel, take-out lunch), arrival/departure transfer from/to
Split or Zadar, local taxes, transfer to the locations, entrance
tickets in all nature and national parks, professional ornithologist
guide and assistance.
