Descrizione
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 Nitticora flying over on their way to the roosting site. Or you can go there early night for the owls ( Allocco and always potential to find other species, especially worth checking for Gufo comune).
Górka Pychowicka and the surroundings is the only spot in Kraków with such a diversity. You can also find the iconic Rigogolo, Bigia padovana, Re di quaglie, Usignolo, Ciuffolotto scarlatto, Pettazzurro (if your lucky!), various warblers, finches, buntings, flycatchers, thrushes, shrikes, swifts, woodpeckers, swallows, corvids and Cuculo, Gheppio, Poiana, Sparviere, Lodolaio, Quaglia. Plus species on migration, including Falco di palude. Just a stunning place, which you can't miss if you're in the area.
