The snow-clad Tatras form an attractive backdrop to this Black Grouse lek south of Kraków.

Poland offers a range of woodpeckers, from the familiar Great Spotted…

…to the elusive Three-toed

Nutcrackers can be expected in the Bialowieski forest…

…and maybe a roosting Tawny Owl

This road through the Biebrza marshes might at first look birdless but sharp eyes will notice the Hoopoe which walked ahead of our coach.

In addition to the wonderful birdlife, magnificent mammals such as Elk…

…and European Bison are a major attraction in Poland.

Warsaw’s Philharmonic Hall is one of the main venues for a series of exciting concerts.

Another concert venue is the Royal Palace with its magnificent interiors.

We should hear fine singing in Hajnowka Russian Orthodox Church…

…and in 2004 we enjoyed a private chamber music concert in the home of Lutoslawski

The rural way of life has remained unchanged for centuries…

…and many country houses are topped with the nests of White Storks

Warsaw was largely rebuilt after World War II…

…but Kraków is a perfect example of a medieval city…

…with the largest square in Europe…

…and some wonderful shopping opportunities in the market hall.

…and a wonderful salt chandelier

In the Wieliczka salt mine there are incredible sculptures in salt….
