That's really a very good place to watch White Tailed Eagles, Osprays, herons and Lapwings. 👍
Absolutely amazing place! Watched Red Kite, Osprey, White-tailed Eagle, Black Kite, Common Crane and many more. Beware of the roads when going by car, though. Many deep potholes.
Nice observationtower, however limited access to other places around to go there for a good birding tour. So I searched some fields around but beside the tower I found no other rewarding lookout.
