Many species are increasing or maintaining populations at historically high levels. Waterbirds continue to do well: Eurasian Spoonbill, Eurasian Bittern, Little Egret, Great Egret and Western Cattle Egret all reached record totals in 2024.

A big influx of Waxwings in NE Poland. Never had them so early & a flock of 200 birds today was even a bigger surprise. Same applies to Redpolls, Nutcrackers & Crossbills- seems like rough winter and/or lack of food at Far North push them more south. Who knows what it will bring.
