The extremely rich flora and fauna of the lake Žuvintas Biosphere Reserve and its surroundings makes it one of the best places in Lithuania for birding.
Zuvintas wetland (6940 ha) is a natural complex, covering a small human-influenced, very natural variety of swamps and a big shallow lake. This lake is only 0.6 m in depth and is one of the most important places in Lithuania for birds. Here the populations of Busard des roseaux, Marouette poussin, Grue cendrée and Gorgebleue à miroir are the largest in the country. During migration there are huge amount of Grue cendrée, geese, ducks, sandpipers and other flocks of birds. Zuvintas wet meadows - is one of two locations in Lithuania, where the extremely rare, globally endangered Phragmite aquatique can be found. Around the lake also Râle des genêts can be heard and if you are extremely lucky seen. In the last 30 years, 234 bird species have been observed in Zuvintas. For birding it is best to visit the area in spring and in the first half of summer.
Although it is certainly a place worth visiting, especially for its beauty, there is only one accesible place, the observation tower near the reception center, which is reached by a wooden path in very bad condition (be careful here). Being a fairly large lake, you will need a telescope to be able to watch birds.
Information added by user Gulliver: Spring and Autumn are good times to observe large flocks of geese and ducks. But in summer, almost all migratory songbirds have gone and only low numbers of birds remain in the lake: Grand Cormoran, Canard colvert, Vanneau huppé, Oie cendrée, Grande Aigrette, Busard des roseaux, etc. August is a good time to see Pygargue à queue blanche in their perch in the opposite shore of the lake (telescope). In the surrounding cultivated fields you will be able to see Perdrix grise, Grue cendrée, Cigogne blanche, Bruant jaune, Tarier des prés and Pie-grièche écorcheur.
