Valleys of Biebrza and Narew still with high level of water as in March. Marsh Terns are virtually everywhere. First shorebirds on their postbreeding move. Black Storks using water pools, White Storks increased significantly in numbers.

Another site of WOOD SANDPIPER known from last year also with success. Two chicks hatched near Michalowo, east of Bialystok. Currently we have two breeding pairs in NE Poland.
At least three BLYTH REED WARBLERS found singing at night around Bialystok town. Very good year for this species, probably underestimated before.

Nest of WOOD SANDPIPER with chick found at Biebrza Marshes Lower Basin. In Poland breeding birds disappeared from Polish coast area. Last year single pair raised chicks near Michalowo (NE Poland), this year we have another pair in Biebrza Marshes. Could it mean some trend for the future?
;Two Blyth Reed Warblers found near Bialystok, one near Hajnowka.
At least 4 Greenish Warblers in Knyszynska Forest.
Good year for both Warblers.
