    Big thanks to TicoTyler for thorough and reasonable take on the topic. It does not happen often nowadays.

    Tamron 150-600 G2 or Sigma 150-600 C on the R7?

    I've been using Tamron plus R6 for year and a change. Judging by the comments in the internet, I lean into the theory that one needs to get lucky with the Tamron, since my copy does not pulse, AF is OK and - the most important - I made a few acceptable photos of birds in flight.

    I had no idea that the Grey-headed was such a coveted creature. It's quite common here, in Upper Silesia region, it frequently breeds in city parks, botanical gardens and cemeteries.

    It's a hell of a story, thank you for that. I'm under impression of your efficiency - you found 123 species (which is great result) and visited the majority of the top-of-the-list places in very limited time frame. I respect that.

    As for Bison, I bet you decided to drive north, to Kosy Most and even further out to Siemianowka - this would raise your chance to see them to 80%, more or less...

    Great story. I genuinely felt intrigued after every chapter, waiting for the questions to get answered, like "will he make it to Kuligi bridge?" (he did); will he do the right thing and go back to Dluga Luka in the evening?" (he did!); "will he go through Dolistowo bridge to Jaglowo?" (he did...

    A visitor's guide to European birding portals

    Great initiative, much appreciated. You should add Clanga for Poland. Guys are relentless in their queries of various sources for Polish rarities.

    Quite a trip you made in one day. Barwik and Gugny are hard to navigate without Wellingtons, I admit. They're also a bit overrated as birding spots in my opinion, so you did not miss much. You did not go to the shelter in Zajki, I suppose. It's a great place, but strongly dependable on water...

    Can't wait to read next chapters. If I'm properly guessing your accomodation location in Goniadz, you would be eligible for Citrine Wagtail and Lesser Spotted Eagle observations while having your breakfast on the terrace...

    Thank you. I have a soft spot for that particular picture, since it's nature photography at it's best - be in the right place at right time, have some luck with weather conditions, pull the trigger, enjoy effects.
