From the bird’s-eye view the Curonian Spit is a narrow, sandy peninsula that the birds use as a bridge to avoid the dangerous waters of the Baltic Sea. Up to 1.5 million birds pass it on peak days, making it a spectacular place for nature lovers and vacationers.

Today, two ornithological stations make a first attempt to cross the border through a common bird research project. But will they be 2 birds of a feather?
