Berlin City Centre (1 Viewer)

Hi, I'm in Berlin centre next week, and have an afternoon free. Just wondering where best to go to maximise birding experience? I was going to go to Tiergarden...can I expect much there this time of the year (Goshawk, Hawfinch?) or palace gardens further west (woodpeckers?). Limited time, reliant on public transport, so any advice on reliable sites welcomed. Thanks 😉

Honestly clueless, but any place that has goshawks can't be that bad.

In the top line You have the choice for German, English or French.
Than last 7 days
Than BE for Berlin

Than You can check all or rare, uncommon and so on.

For forest birds In woould look in Grunewald e.g. near Teufelsberg, reachable on foot from S-Bahn station Heerstrasse.
Water birds on river havel, e.g. near underground U-Bahn station Altstadt Spandau.

I managed 2x Goshawk (really close views on the south side of the Tiergarden with a large flock of Siskin (150+). Buzzard drifted over south & plenty of Nuthatches. Thanks again for everyone's advice.
