Eastern Europe offers birdwatchers a chance to step back in time to an era when the countryside was relatively unexploited and still teeming with birds. Nowhere else in Europe is there such a profusion of small birds, especially warblers, flycatchers and woodpeckers, which are superbly captured on this unique DVD-video. This is the story of an expedition to Poland and Hungary that captures the richness of birdwatching in these countries, from the steppe-like plains of the Hortobagy to the wild expanses of the Biebrza marshes and including the lush forests of the Bialowieska. Eastern Europe has never been more accessible; enjoy it now while it's still wild and unspoilt.

Highlights include:

• The extraordinary displays of the Great Snipe
• A magnificent male Great Bustard
• An exceptional variety of birds of prey including Saker Falcon, Wite-tailed Eagle, Lesser Sotted Eagle and Red-footed Falcon
• Almost all the eastern European specialities including Red-breasted and Collared Flycatchers, River, Marsh, Savi's Warbler, Barred and Aquatic Warblers, White-backed, Middle Spotted, Grey-headed and Black Woodpeckers, Whiskered and White-winged Black Terns, Little Bittern, Ferruginous Duck and a host of herons and egrets.
