Some of the best birding sites in Poland include Biebrza Marshes, Wigry National Park, and Białowieża Forest – the last being a UNESCO World Heritage site. The peak birding season in Poland typically occurs during the spring and autumn months, as these are the periods when many bird species migrate to and from their breeding and wintering grounds.
