Birdwatching in Georgia 2025
Due to its geographical location Georgia boasts best birding destinations of the world
Best time: March–October
Georgia is a small country, but its geolocation allows it for the best and diverse birds to hang out there quite often! Here you can find Alpine meadows, semi-deserts, lakes and rivers, caves and mountains. And thus there is diverse habitat for different types of birds. The "big five" Georgian species are Caucasian black grouse, Caucasian snowcock, Caucasian chiffchaff and the Great rosefinch. Aim for spring and autumn for spotting migration at Batumi bottleneck, where up to 100,000 raptors pass through on a single day.
