“The Nemunas delta region, no doubt, is the most important site in Lithuania for birders. Here the majority of Lithuanian bird species (around 90 %) are found and and one of the biggest bird migration routes in the Western Palaearctic crosses. There are only 2 similar wetlands in Europe that can be compared with Nemunas delta if you consider the diversity of species and natural value of this place. – it is Danube delta in Romania and Doñana wetlands in Spain.” – says Marius Karlonas, ornithologist and author of the first birding guide in Lithuania.

The Field Guide covers 22 areas in Western Lithuania, which have been selected based on long term ornitologist’s observations in this region. The book includes detailed descriptions of each territory, lists of target species, birdwaching tactics and other necessary information.
