The wet meadows in Złaków Kościelny village are a Natura 2000 area and attract thousands of birds.
Słudwia Valley (Złaków Kościelny) is an unique place at nearly any time of the year. It is a polish agricultural landscape with wet meadows and thousands of birds (however, birding might be harder there if it's dry season).
Spring is the best time to visit Słudwia Valley. In early spring, thousands of migrating geese and ducks come there, along with flocks of ljungpipare and Trana. During this impressive migration, there is a quite high chance to spot rare species of geese. On empty fields, you can find hidden rapphöna. Later in spring, grågås and some ducks species stay to breed, and many Charadriiformes appear on meadows: brushane (sometimes in large flocks), rödspov, tofsvipa, enkelbeckasin, rödbena, to name a few. You can also watch birds typical for agricultural landscape (e.g. vit stork, ängshök, Härfågel, buskskvätta) and reeds ( rördrom). In summer, there is a possibility to see some birds of prey. In autumn, geese, ducks, Charadriiformes and Trana again gather in flocks and some of them stay for long. In winter, it's easier to notice rapphöna on fields. Several other bird species also spend there cold months: fjällvråk, blå kärrhök, finches and buntings.
Słudwia Valley will be interesting also for those into etnography - during Corpus Christi procession, organized by church in Złaków Kościelny, people display national costumes of Łowicz region.
Birding is possible from the road west of the church (marked on map). It is usually the best spot, but if you want to see more, take other roads in the area. Traffic is quite light there, but cars drive fast. You can park your car near the church, where every year breeds tornfalk :). Keep in mind that going across fields and meadows may scare the birds, especially during bird migration, when large flocks of geese feed there, and breeding season, when waterbirds nest on meadows. Always be responsible and respectful.
