Description
Batumi Boulevard Park can be surprisingly good for birdwatching. Especially on rainy days during the migration season, many migrants come down. The park, especially its north end, often teems with passerines, which are easy to find and observe. lejsek malý can be abundant, and slavík tmavý give very good views. krutihlav obecný, rehek zahradní, Mountain Chiffchaff (Caucasian), budníček žlutavý, pěnice černohlavá, pěnice slavíková, pěnice pokřovní, pěnice hnědokřídlá and lejsek šedý are often numerous, and occasionally something rare turns up. Check the branches of the pines for sleeping lelek lesní and výreček malý.
Going further north, there was a good grassy area near the Ferris wheel, but most of this area is now fenced. This was a really good spot for all sorts of migrants, but still worth checking the areas outside the fence in early morning even if you only have an hour or so. Birds that have been spotted here include křepelka polní, hrdlička divoká, strnad zahradní, strnad černohlavý, pěnice vlašská, slavík modráček, rákosník velký, cvrčilka slavíková, linduška rudokrká, ťuhýk menší and ťuhýk obecný.
