Description
The Knyszyn Primaeval Forest might as well be taken for Siberian taiga. The forest is dominated by centuries-old, towering pines. Sometimes called “sacred trees”, many of them feature shrines and crosses attached by the locals many years ago. The grounds of these spell-binding woods pulsate with bursting springs, which let out subterranean mineral waters. For birding this is an interesting site all-year round with breeding Eurasian Three-toed Woodpecker and White-backed Woodpecker. Eurasian Pygmy Owl and Hazel Grouse recorded too. Not far away from Biebrza River or Bialystok town, with good access.
Other birds that can be seen here are Lesser Spotted Eagle, White-tailed Eagle, Black Woodpecker.
