Got a few days in Czech Republic in early/mid July. I've got both the Gorman books (Birding in Eastern Europe and Where to Watch Birds in Eastern Europe) and fancy trying my luck at Sumava the SW of the country (in the Bohemia region). From the books, it seems that the Boubín primeval forest is a key place for some of the speciality birds. I'll be looking for anything I don't normally see at home but am particularly keen on seeing Hazelhen and, although probably and awful long shot in July, owls (Ural, Tengmalm's, Pygmy). Also would be good to see Grey-headed Woodpecker.
Just wondered if anyone has birded the area in recent years and had any success or not (or info on other good sites in that general area that is additional to what is in the two books).
Thanks
Nick
