Eurasian Birding

Eurasian Birding is organized by guide Sergei Shushunov and offers small-group birding expeditions across Russia, a country home to roughly 700 species. Tours visit national parks and federally protected reserves, including the Astrakhansky Reserve in the Volga Delta and the Olonetsky and Nizhnesvirsky reserves near the Finnish border. The outfit emphasizes professional guiding, with leaders who hold degrees in wildlife biology. Niche departures include a dedicated Common Nightingale singing tour in northwest Russia.
