In Bieszczady Mts avifauna is extremely rich. Presence of at least 38 species from 1 Appendix of the EU Birds Directive has been recorded here. Number of population of 11 of them was a reason for establishing a bird refuge in line with BirdLife International criteria. These are: black stork, European honey-buzzard, lesser spotted eagle, golden eagle, corn crake (the biggest number in Polish mountain refuges), eagle-owl, Eurasian pygmy owl, Ural owl (100-150 pairs), Boreal owl, white-backed woodpecker and three-toed woodpecker.

Other valuable species mentioned in the II Appendix, which can be observed here include: white stork, white-tailed eagle, Egyptian vulture, short-toed snake-eagle, harriers: marsh, Montagu's and hen, booted eagle, osprey, hazel grouse, western capercaillie, Eurasian dotterel, wood sandpiper, black tern, European roller, common kingfisher, woodpeckers: grey-faced, black and middle spotted, red-backed shrike, lesser grey shrike. Bieszczady Mountains are one of the most important refuges for birds of prey, owls and woodpeckers (mostly white-backed) in Poland.

At the ranch you can observe (we saw) most of the above mentioned species (birds) and we actively improve their nesting and hunting areas. For example:

Corncrakes with unusual voice nest here two times per year (June and August) and you can hear while enjoying cold beer on terrace. From the very beginning of the Ranch we have decided to keep unmanaged belt of meadow along the stream (about 50 metres wide) to encourage them to nestle here. Only once per year - in late autumn - horses are allowed to graze there, what prevents forest succession and ensures removing some of old grass. Corncrakes benefit also from beavers, which have built several dams and thus have increased ground water level.

We have built nest for white stork which regularly visit it, although they have not nested yet.

Birds of prey, mostly common buzzards, benefit from observation sticks, which are located on meadows. The sticks are orientated in such a way that birds are conveniently visible in profile, when observer sits on terrace around the main building of the ranch. We have also set several sticks for birds of prey and owls in orchards to protect them againts rodents.

Numerous woodpeckers and owls benefit from 10 hectares of our privat forest, that has been unmanaged from the beginning. It is very easy to find owl pellets.

We leave hawthorns on meadows, which although little bit disturb mowing, but they are used by grey shrikes for hanging prey, for example lizards.

After beavers appeared and started to build dams ducks felt in love in open water which is very scarse in the mountains.

Apart of the above mentioned species, you can observe plenty of ‘common’ ones like: great tits, blue tits, marsch tits, magpies, cuckoos, flycatchers (different species), wagtails, kestrel, pipits, ravens, swifts, greenfinches, etc.
