We are planning on taking a trip to Central Europe in late-April
to mid-May, later this year. This will probably include Germany,
Hungary, and Romania. We are *planning* this trip for 1996, but
of course it might not happen. Anyhow, if it does happen, we
are hoping to do at least a little birdwatching. Thus, we would
appreciate any suggestions you might have re books, checklists,
or other sources of info re common Spring birds. Any names of
birdwatchers in these areas we could contact? Advice on
special spots to visit? Any birdchat BBS's etc in these areas (in
English at least partially)?

thanks for any help
