Tour overview

Tour overview

The name of this tour, literally and figuratively, perfectly reflects and combines two natural phenomena - the annual migration of hundreds of thousands of birds across the Nemunas delta, flooded by the spring tides. When waterbirds returning from the south take temporary or longer shelter in the flooded meadows of the Nemunas delta, we simply call it the "Geese Flood".

What we'll do

What we'll do

To start with - there is no better camouflage option than the automobile - the "mobile hide". Birds are used to and not afraid of cars, so this is an advantage that we are going to exploit.
The adventure begins in the small fisherman's town Rusnė, just a few kilometers from the starting point. First things first - our most important instrument for this trip - the binoculars. All participants will get their own professional unit for the time of this adventure. You will be traveling in your own car, following your knowledgeable guide, and visiting unique spots approximately every forty minutes. Expand…
Local areal inhabitants will probably be aware of our arrival long before we will see them, so please don't shut the doors while we get out in every location. Staying silent will allow us to see more species.

Depending on the level of the floods, we will visit "hottest" spots, where we will look not only for the species already listed but also for its rare relatives - the rarest Colorful Red-breasted goose, stylish Pinkfooted goose, and the Barnacle Goose. The route will always be different, as the water level drops over time and the geese do not stay in one place.

If only weather conditions allow, during one of our stops, we will set up a bird spotting scope with a powerful x 20-60 zoom. Boris (your guide) will not only show but also will tell a ton of facts and interesting insights about surrounding birds. On our way back, we will make one last stop to take a break, relax and have that precious cup of morning coffee or afternoon tea.
