Heading Podlasie 01.03.2012 / Day 4

After leaving our hotel Dobarz Manor and writing in the gueset book we drove into direction of Bialowieza National Park. During drive we decided to visit one more national park - Narew River NP.

During the drive we saw many signs of beavers activity in neighbourhood of river. At fields few times we have seen great grey shrike, and on mistletoe on poplars flocks of waxwings. Quite often there were gliding buzzards in the sky.

On our way we stopped in Tykocin. It's an old Town strongly connected with polish kings. There is a beautiful marketplace, great church and old synagogue. Five kilometers from Tykocin there is a village Pentowo. It's known because of number of white storks nesting there - c.a. 30-40 on few hektares. However the storks hadn't yet arrived

After arriving to Narew River National Park first wildlife we met was another greater spotted woodpecker and my guests told me , the most beautiful red squirrel with the tuftiest ears ever seen playing in the garden close to the manor in Kurowo. Next we followed a wooden walkway by the river and just as we begun our walk a small black beaver was spotted! Hurray! It passed by immediately under the walkway where we were standing and swam into the water. It popped its head up through the ice a little further away and appeared to watch us a while. We stood and watched the bevaer for some time in the location. It was a very small individual and most probably only one year old. This sighting cheered everyone up!
Our next stop was at the ''broken bridge'' where the weather was unhostile so unfortunately we did not have any new sightings of mink otter or marten.
From Narwia National Park we drove to the Gruszki village in the north part of Bialowieza Forest. We heard news that there were a few bisons at the side of the road but unfortunately we didn't see them this time.

After dinner we had time for ourselves.
