Magic of Migration Lithuania Birding Tour
An eight-day autumn birding journey along Lithuania’s East Baltic Flyway, from Ventė Cape and the Curonian Spit to crane gatherings and Biržai Forest.
About this tour
Follow the autumn migration through some of Lithuania’s most important birding landscapes with Alcedo Wildlife and Boris Belchev.
The journey begins at Ventė Cape, where the ringing station and its Heligoland trap sit beside a major East Baltic Flyway bottleneck. It continues across Nemunas Delta and the Curonian Spit, where passerines, raptors, waterbirds and seabirds move along the Baltic coast.
Later stages connect Kurtuvėnai Regional Park, Tyruliai Bog and Biržai Forest, adding crane gatherings, forest birding and the sounds of the Red Deer rut to the migration experience.
The route may be adjusted for weather, bird activity and migration timing so field time can focus on the strongest opportunities.
