Wednesday 10 August 2011 - Kretowiny, Poland



Whilst on holiday in the Warminsko-Mazurskie region of NE Poland I enjoyed a couple of runs around the local area at Kretowiny. The first run of 10k took me out of the resort area, which is set in a peninsular at the southern edge of Jezioro Narie (Lake Narie) along the road to the T-Junction at the end of the lake. A short distance along the road a sandy track headed into the forest past a small reed-bordered lake. The track then crossed under the railway line or headed back past a very small lake into the forest. At this point not knowing where either track ended up, I turned back to the road. Half a mile along the road a track headed back into the forest at Kretowiny

Several Swallows were seen around the route. Along the road heading out of Kretowiny there were some Tree Sparrows in a garden. A Marsh Tit was seen in the forest on some cut logs near the railway line.




On the way back 2 Common Cranes were in a grass field on the shore of Lake Narie. Their bugling calls were very loud and could clearly be heard even the birds were 300 metres away.
