    Help protect Montenegro’s Ulcinj Saltpans – a vital migration resting site

    Some terrific news came out over Easter weekend - Montenegro's Government has issued an order to prevent any building at this site and voiced its intention to create a protected bird reserve here (given that IBA status clearly isn't enough!). Thanks to everyone who signed and supported this...

    Greetings from Croatia

    Cao jos Nina :eat: I knew you'd like Vis. I hardly ever get to stay there and it's so beautiful. We always have tourists at our house in summer (u Visu - vise volim). Get in touch when you come to Montenegro. Of course I would say Skadar Lake is the best when it comes to birds, but Ulcinjske...

    Help protect Montenegro’s Ulcinj Saltpans – a vital migration resting site

    A "velika hvala" (big thanks) guys! We need as much publicity as we can get. I'm only linked into Montenegrin environment NGOs and Euronatur, but we need to get this on the radar of higher profile international conservationist bodies and media. If anyone here can help with that.....?

    Help protect Montenegro’s Ulcinj Saltpans – a vital migration resting site

    More than one million birds fly over Montenegro’s Ulcinj Saltpans (“Ulcinjske Solane”, locally) during spring and winter migration. Without this important resting stop on the Eastern Adriatic flyway, many migratory birds – especially garganeys and curlew sandpipers – would not be able to survive...

    Hi from Montenegro

    I joined last week and wanted to say hello here. Although British, I'm lucky enough to live for most of the year in a very special place for birds - Lake Skadar National Park in Montenegro. It's a vast and staggeringly beautiful wetland (more than 200 square kms) with more than 280 species, but...

    Montenegro - 18th September - 2nd October 2011

    Stuart, thanks for your detailed post and info. It's a real challenge finding decent info on Montenegro's birds, which is something I'm trying to address having just started to offer birdwatching holidays based at Lake Skadar and including a visit to the Ulcinj Saltpans (very sadly threatened...

    A long shot ... Skadar Lake, Montenegro

    I would say grey heron too, but too blurry. Look us up next time you're at Skadar Lake - we live there and just started offering birding hols. :)
