Descrizione
Batumi Boulevard Park can be surprisingly good for birdwatching. Especially on rainy days during the migration season, many migrants come down. The park, especially its north end, often teems with passerines, which are easy to find and observe. Pigliamosche pettirosso can be abundant, and Usignolo maggiore give very good views. Torcicollo, Codirosso, Mountain Chiffchaff (Caucasian), Luì nitido, Capinera, Beccafico, Bigiarella, Sterpazzola and Pigliamosche are often numerous, and occasionally something rare turns up. Check the branches of the pines for sleeping Succiacapre and Assiolo.
Going further north, there was a good grassy area near the Ferris wheel, but most of this area is now fenced. This was a really good spot for all sorts of migrants, but still worth checking the areas outside the fence in early morning even if you only have an hour or so. Birds that have been spotted here include Quaglia, Tortora selvatica, Ortolano, Zigolo capinero, Bigia padovana, Pettazzurro, Cannareccione, Salciaiola, Pispola golarossa, Averla cenerina and Averla piccola.
