Shag?
Just got back from an amazing two-week holiday in western Poland with Simeon and Connor. We scooped 155 species - amazing for the time of year - including a few species not really recorded in the area before, and birds such as Black Woodpecker, Aquatic Warbler and White-tailed Eagle. We should be well-equipped for autumn migration! Other highlights included bouts of tripod jousting, a day trip in a dinghy, and wading through leech-infested swamp. I'll let you know when Simeon, Connor or I have finished out trip reports so you can read them or just look at the photos. Thanks to Wiktoria for her help and information on her amazing country!
TheSeagull - you need to add Poland to your gap-year itinerary!
Wow! This is 13 species more than I've seen in Poland since I started birding, I should be embarrassed!We scooped 155 species - amazing for the time of year - including a few species not really recorded in the area before, and birds such as Black Woodpecker, Aquatic Warbler and White-tailed Eagle.
I'm looking forward to reading it!I'll let you know when Simeon, Connor or I have finished out trip reports so you can read them or just look at the photos.
You're welcome. I'm glad that Poland didn't disappoint you ^^Thanks to Wiktoria for her help and information on her amazing country!
I told birderbf that Poland is a great place to bird in and you guys confirm it :t:
btw, yesterday another visit to Jamaica Bay with birderbf : 7 lifers and a Least Bittern among them ^^
There are lots of them in my neighborhood. This spring for two days I could even hear it from my room. But it used to be my the most embarrassing species that I hadn't seen for over one year after I started birdingbut I still couldn't dig up a Chaffinch.
