Moldova

You will notice that there is no introduction to this section yet.

I would like to fill this gap with an introduction from a local birder [or someone who is a frequent visitor] for every on of the geographical pages. The many thousands of birders now regularly using these pages prefer to read something written by someone who can see the place from an insider's point of view. They know the best spots, not just the ones that first time overseas visitors usually visit or that are on the normal birding trip itineraries.

Each introduction carries the e-mail address of the contributor so that birders can get in touch with them if, for example, they are planning a trip [unless the contributor is unable to do this].

Please get in touch if you feel you can contribute an introduction to this page - you don't have to be an expert; I'm not!

The Ghidigich water reservoir was built in 1963. The heron, bittern, wild duck (mallard); coot, and the others are the waterfowl, that nest here. There are a lot of different fishes here - carp, crucian, pike-perch etc. The base of rest was created on the shore.

The flock of herons, which live in the Padurea Domneasca, have their nests not on the bushes or reed thickets but up in the trees spread over a large area. Locals call this place herons Land, a real paradise for these birds, which feature in the Red Book...
