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. Also available to Guide in: Croatia Only..
