All good things...!
Following my first sighting of Willow warbler the other day they have become daily occurances - with up to three together with the tit flock.

Getting back yesterday with my Broadband down! after a 17 day absence (me and the Broadband). I watched a pair of Blackcap this morning showing an interest..in a third party, mostly hidden in the hedge, when after a few minutes It popped out for a brief second (very furtive), then again a few minutes later, to reveal..my earlier suspicions no.66!..a Garden Warbler.

... and still they come
114. wheatear - another late save of a bird I thought we had missed. The area they usually turn up in has mostly become too overgrown for them.

Guess you will just have to "expect the unexpected", Jos!
First unexpected turned up today - after an afternoon of maintenance work, spotted three high-flying birds heading north ...Great White Egrets, cool. An increasingly common bird in Lithuania, but only my second-ever record on my land.
Lots of Nutcrackers about too, plus woodpeckers milling around - Black, Great Spotted, Middle Spotted and Lesser Spot, all too soon the feeder season will take over.
120. Great White Egret.

Ongoing observation of the sky above the Lakes for wetland birds arriving from the interior has produced more Magpie Geese, Pacific Black Ducks, Little Black Cormorants, another Pelican and this avo, the tiny forms of two Green Pygmy Geese, which a late visit to the Freshwater Lake just before dusk confirmed as having landed there.
103) Green Pygmy Goose.

114a. white-tailed eagle. Not strictly countable yet, but still rather fun! The one species that flushes EVERYTHING.

One I thought I had missed this year, male Wheatear. Also flock of about 80 White Storks wheeling around, slowly drifting south. Grey-headed Woodpecker and two Lesser Spots near the feeders.

Lithuania, eh?! It's like another country.

Quite possibly the last storks of the year for my land, all the nests now long deserted, the fields empty.

I look forward to your Cairns Garden List for 2013 to see how it compares to mine!B
Got a few days off coming up; will be watching the trees closely. Amazingly there are still several species I could have had quite easily since New Year's Day which I still haven't seen!

It will be lower especially if I cant see the buggers - got great hearing but no audio memory, if they dont shout their name like chiffs have no hope of remembering what it is

Strangely I'm the opposite! Blind as a bat but with ears like parabolic reflectors. I just seem to be able to remember the calls. Happy to go for birding walks helping with call ID when you get here.:t:
