James said:Hi Folks
Got 4 days in Prague in March but with no car. Are there any good parks or special birds within easy reach of the city centre?
Any help appreciated.

You don't need a car in the city anyway, superb tram and metro service. There are far too many things to do and see in the city to bother about birdwatching, particularly if you only have four days.

.... and from the castle windows. Level seven is probably thinking of master John Hus whose statue is prominent on Prague's Old Town Square. But he was burnt at the stake at the Council of Constance.baillieswells said:No burning. In Prague for centuries they have defenestrated heretics and other undesirables by throwing them out of the windows of the town hall

level seven said:I only meant it was heresy on BirdForum to suggest spending time doing something other than birding....
David said:Well .... some people spend more time on Bird Forum than they do out birding :bounce:
