Descripción
Pychowice i Okolice is a gorgeous area, covering about 20 hectares. With big open meadows, plenty of woodland, reedbeds, a stream, etc. The best time to explore the area is early morning (6-10am in spring/summer) but also worth heading out late afternoon for the potential sight of Martinete Común flying over on their way to the roosting site. Or you can go there early night for the owls ( Cárabo Común and always potential to find other species, especially worth checking for Búho Chico).
Górka Pychowicka and the surroundings is the only spot in Kraków with such a diversity. You can also find the iconic Oropéndola Europea, Curruca Gavilana, Guión de Codornices, Ruiseñor Común, Camachuelo Carminoso, Ruiseñor Pechiazul (if your lucky!), various warblers, finches, buntings, flycatchers, thrushes, shrikes, swifts, woodpeckers, swallows, corvids and Cuco Común, Cernícalo vulgar, Busardo ratonero, Gavilán Común, Alcotán Europeo, Codorniz Común. Plus species on migration, including Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental. Just a stunning place, which you can't miss if you're in the area.
