A short visit today to Mogosoaia (IF) with two birdforum members: Florian Andronache and scottishdude.
The main target: to help Jamie to take some pics with Hawfinches, woodpeckers and Long-eared Owls.
Jamie was lucky - we found 2 Hawfinches taking a bath in a small pool and some Long-eared Owls posing nicely in some not very high trees.
Tomorrow I'll meet Jamie again and will visit the same place and some other birding hot spots in Bucharest.
Soon I'll upload some pics with Jamie and Florian in the gallery ;).
 
Saturday 19th - in the morning we (this time only me and Jamie) visited again Mogosoaia. Despite the horrible weather (rain) Jamie managed to take some nice pics with Syrian Woody, Middle Spotted Woody, Hawfinch, Long-eared Owl. Some other species seen in Mogosoaia: Goldcrest, Treecreeper, Mallard, Magpie, Jay, Brambling, Chaffinch, Yellow-legged Gull, Nuthatch, Yellowhammer.
Around the noon (rain and then snow!) we visited Herastrau park, a good opportunity for Jamie to see a lifer - the Caspian Gull (http://www.birdforum.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=309187&d=1298123706) and to feed some Great Tits (http://www.birdforum.net/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/352189/ppuser/54311). Other species spotted in Herastrau: Syrian Woody, Fieldfare, Redwing, Chaffinch, Blue Tit, Yellow-legged Gull, Black-headed Gull, Blackbird, Nuthatch, Common Buzzard, Rook, Hooded Crow, Hawfinch.
