Birdwatching in Romania - Eco Turism

The spectacular limestone gorges of Turda, Intregalde, Rameti and Bicaz provide the perfect habitat for several species of raptors, Eagle Owl, Nightjar, Hoopoe, Rock Thrush, Rock Bunting, and Wallcreeper. The rolling hills of Transylvania contain several areas of fish ponds which are known for their interesting birds. In addition to an impressive array of water birds and birds of prey, the specialities include: White Stork, Little Bittern, Black Godwit, Spoonbill, Ruff, Ferruginous Duck, Corncrake, Spotted Crake, Marsh Harrier, Lesser Spotted Eagle, several Warblers, Bee-eater, and various Yellow Wagtails including black-headed and blue-headed hybrids.

Dobrogea:
This is the region to the south of the Danube Delta and along the Black Sea Coast and includes the low Macin Hills, much low-lying land and several large lakes. The Macin Hills are home to Bee-eater, Roller, Hoopoe, Short-toed and Lesser Spotted Eagle, Levant Sparrowhawk and Montagu�s Harrier. Several rarer species of raptor are seen occasionally here. The lakes again hold a myriad of interesting species but it is the winter gatherings of White pelicans, White-fronted Goose, Ferruginous Duck and Red-breasted Goose which are most spectacular. Indeed it is estimated that almost the entire world population of Red-breasted Geese winters in this area.
Danube Delta:
The Delta - some 4000 square kilometres of sand bars, lakes, reed beds, floating islands of vegetation, and forests - is the most spectacular wetland in Europe and houses hundreds of species of birds, many not seen anywhere else in the continent. In summer, Glossy Ibis, Spoonbill, White Egret, Purple, Night and Squacco Herrons, Little Bittern, White Pelican and Pygmy Cormorant, can all be seen in great numbers. Several interesting species of raptor including White-tailed Eagle, Black Kite and Saker, may be seen along with many forms of warbler, wader and tern.
Access within the Delta can be difficult and travel by small boat is recommended. Also a special permit is required for access into the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve which contains the larger part of the Delta.
