Croatia
This location offers fantastic chances for bird watching since they are frequently untouched! With its Adriatic Sea shoreline, Croatia is quickly gaining popularity among birdwatchers, and once you are there, you’ll understand why!
Nin in the Zadar Area is the best location in Croatia for birding. Because of the saline nature of the lagoon where Nin is located, a wide variety of fascinating creatures and birds are drawn to the area’s wildlife!
Catch the Kentish Plover, Kingfisher, Little Egret, and Black-Winged Stilt in their native habitats. The lagoon is home to hundreds of bird species, making it an opportunity not to be missed!
The island of Pag in the Lake Vrana Natural Park is also well-known in Croatia for the variety of birds it is home to, and both of these locations are stunning in their own right! Before it gains more popularity like many other more well-known European places, now is the best time to go birding in Croatia while it’s less crowded!

Belarus
Belarus is a wonderful destination and was formerly a part of the Soviet Union. There are numerous thrills for birdwatchers to discover here, but one, in particular, is luring spotters from all over the world! One of the most secretive and beautiful European birds, the Azure Tit, can be found along the Pripyat River, especially close to Turov. It would be on every birdwatcher’s bucket list because it is only found in Russia and nowhere else in Europe!
This is a top birding spot not only because of the tiny bird but you can also view many other rare species in this untouched area, many of which are species in serious decline.
Finland
Several species of breeding and migrating birds are drawn to the magnificently distinctive Finnish terrain. Oulo, possibly the owl-spotting hub of Europe, is a place to be devoted by birdwatchers.
Eight of the ten owl species unique to Finland can be found in this magnificent region! You might witness both Europe’s tiniest owl, the Pygmy Owl, and the Great Grey Owl, a bird that is just amazing in size and speed.
In addition, the magnificent Hawk Owl is a must-see, and there are several other species in the area, including wading birds, terns, and sandpipers in the neighbouring port.
When it comes to bird-watching, Europe is a beautiful continent to visit! The places mentioned above are just a few well-known spots in a few famous nations. Start making travel plans right now because there is a lot to see in Europe, whether you plan to visit the diverse Danube Delta, untouched Croatia, or Belarus for its uniqueness!
