– Bird watching in the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve: The Danube Delta is Europe’s largest wetland reserve and one of the best places in Europe for bird watching, covering 2,681 square kilometers (1,676 square miles), with a sprawling, watery wilderness accessible only by water. This area impresses its visitor with its numerous contrasts, as you can find here Europe’s youngest land – more than 43.7 square meters (47 square yards) being added each year by normal silting action – as well as the oldest mountains of Romania. The delta is a natural stopover for migratory birds, with more than 300 species of migratory and permanent species of birds and more than 130 species of fish. Amongst them you might be interested in the Dalmatian and White Pelicans, Glossy Ibis, egrets, herons, and cormorants, which can gather in impressive numbers where the water levels are low. Kingfishers, Common Sandpipers, Green Sandpipers and Greenshanks feed along the banks. Penduline Tits and other reed bed species (including Little Bittern), are present, but more difficult to see. Raptors include frequent sightings of Marsh Harriers, Red-footed Falcons, White-tailed Eagles. Bee-eaters, Hoopoes, Rollers and shrikes are very common in open areas. The woodlands support also five species of woodpeckers.
