Description

Located on the north end of the town of Goniądz, this small platform provides an excellent view of the Biebrza River and its extensive floodplain. On clear days from spring through early autumn, the platform is an excellent site for viewing raptors from late morning through mid-afternoon. The main target here is Aigle criard , a rare nesting species at the westernmost edge of its range. With patience, they are regularly seen soaring overhead, and are more reliably encountered here than anywhwere else in the National Park. Other commonly-seen species here include Aigle pomarin , Pygargue à queue blanche , Busard cendré, Busard des roseaux, Buse variable and Faucon crécerelle. Cigogne noire and Cigogne blanche are also often seen soaring on warm days, with the latter nesting abundantly throughout the town, including below the platform. Other common reed-associated species can be seen or heard, with a scope usually necessary to get good views given the distance. A narrow band of trees between the platform and the river can produce common woodland species.

Before leaving the town, turn east at the north-most intersection (Majora Węgielnego/Stary Rynek).
