Wetlands of Europe

Q: Where is the best place to see Wetlands of Europe?

Doñana National Park. In Doñana National Park, Spain, the chance of seeing all 4 (flamingo, white stork, grey heron and little egret) on the same day is about 20%, the highest of the 6 places where all of them live, and over a three-day visit it rises to about 80%. Next come Camargue (about 10% a day), Lake Nakuru National Park (under 5% a day) and Ngorongoro Conservation Area (under 5% a day). It multiplies each animal's daily chance, as if they were independent, so read it as a rough guide.

Q: Which of Wetlands of Europe is hardest to see?

White stork. In Doñana National Park, the best place for Wetlands of Europe, about about 60% of wildlife watchers report the white stork on a given day, against about 70% for the flamingo. The hardest one decides how many days you need.

Where is the best place to see Wetlands of Europe?

Doñana National Park

In Doñana National Park, Spain, the chance of seeing all 4 (flamingo, white stork, grey heron and little egret) on the same day is about 20%, the highest of the 6 places where all of them live, and over a three-day visit it rises to about 80%. Next come Camargue (about 10% a day), Lake Nakuru National Park (under 5% a day) and Ngorongoro Conservation Area (under 5% a day). It multiplies each animal's daily chance, as if they were independent, so read it as a rough guide.

Which of Wetlands of Europe is hardest to see?

White stork

In Doñana National Park, the best place for Wetlands of Europe, about about 60% of wildlife watchers report the white stork on a given day, against about 70% for the flamingo. The hardest one decides how many days you need.
