I am not a real bird watcher myself, but mainly a walker who can enjoy everything you can encounter in nature. Nevertheless, a visit to this bird hut is a small party for everyone. Enormous number of birds and many different species. You don't have to know them all to enjoy it. Beautiful hut with excellent benches and viewing holes! Recommended!
