Meet the winged residents of Komierowo!
The Komierowo Palace invited the outstanding ornithologist and nature guide from Przemyśl – Mr. Przemysław Kunysz to collaborate.
Below we present a study which is the result of observations in our park, and nature lovers are invited to visit Komierowo Palace and admire its fauna.
The Palace-Park Complex in Komierowo is located in a very attractive natural area. An important bird protection area is the Tuchola Forest, where nesting of 30 species important for the entire European Union under the so-called Bird Directive has been recorded. The most important species to see are: little bittern, bittern, garganey, black and white stork, bee-eater, Montagu's harrier and marsh harrier, black kite, white-tailed eagle, corncrake, eagle owl, tawny owl, yellow wagtail, pied flycatcher, kingfisher, black woodpecker, ortolan bunting, and mistle thrush.
Another valuable area important for birds is the nearby Tuchola Forest National Park, established in 1996 covering an area of 4613.04 ha.
The historical park in Komierowo, located around a beautiful palace, due to its natural character and appearance is home to 42 bird species. Forest, park, and partly aquatic species nest here. The vicinity of open fields and meadows facilitates the penetration of field-meadow species.
Species present in the palace-park complex such as: kingfisher, shrike, spotted flycatcher, and woodcock are birds disappearing both in Poland and in Europe.
During observations, a few basic rules should be remembered. Birds are best observed during their peak activity times, that is in the morning and evening. A binocular is recommended for proper species identification and to enhance the bird-watching experience. Calm behavior and clothing that does not contrast strongly with the surroundings are also advised. Early hours of the day are favorable for photographing birds. The best light for photography is during the so-called golden hour, i.e., during sunrise and sunset.”
