The grand finale of our action week
At the Bird Race It's not the birds that run after them, but the observers! The goal: to discover as many bird species as possible within one day – counting every species that you definitely see or hear. It's important to determine the area you're observing in advance so the data can be analyzed later.
Our Seenland-Spöker Team is participating for the third time and will be 03. May um 3 a.m. in the Oder-Spree Lake District. They'll be out and about all day, and you can follow their adventures live in our story!
💡 Want to join in yourself? Set up your own team or take a private day to collect all the birds you can spot! Or try the Mini Birdrace in Beeskow – the slightly more relaxed version.
Register and become part of this unique nature experience!

How to remain the nature lover she needs
Go outside and enjoy the beauty of nature - it is important that we all treat each other with care and consideration. Nature is not only a place of relaxation and life, it also gives us a feeling of security, invites us to exercise and offers space to unwind. Plants and animals share this habitat with us, and the less we affect it, the longer we can enjoy its untouched nature.
Therefore, please always be aware and respectful when you are out and about. Our nature is a precious asset that must be preserved. With these simple rules, your visit to the Oder-Spree Lake District will not only be unforgettable, but also sustainable.
Thank you for your understanding - together we can ensure a respectful and impressive nature experience!
Be well prepared:
Pack binoculars (if available, please use your own)
Wear sturdy shoes - we move on forest paths
Bring a rain jacket - the weather can change
Have your mobile phone or camera charged - for beautiful memories
Be considerate of nature and animals:
No photo justifies entering restricted areas
Keep Calm - loud noises can scare the birds
Keep sufficient distance from the animals - we are only guests in their habitat
Do not feed wild animals- this can harm them
Take your rubbish with you and leave no rubbish behind - nature thanks you
Follow the instructions of your guides - and stay on the designated paths
