The present paper describes results of observations on amphibians, reptiles and birds from the Solska Forest (located in the voivodeships of Lublin and Podkarpacie, SE Poland) in 1993-2002. Fourteen species of amphibians (e.g., Spotted Salamander, Crested Newt, Natterjack), 7 species of reptiles (e.g., European Pound Turtle and Smooth Snake) and 209 species of birds (e.g., Black Stork, Ferruginous Duck, White-tailed Eagle, Short Toed Eagle, Lesser Spotted Eagle, Corncrake, Eagle Owl, Ural Owl, Tengmalm's Owl, Nightjar, Roller, Bluethroat) were found in the territory of the Solska Forest. This paper presents possible threats to the above groups of vertebrates. Suggestions for their protection are also given. The Solska Forest is one of the most important areas for the amphibians, reptiles and birds in Poland and should be protected as a national park.
