Grey Partridge

The Grey Partridge (Perdix perdix) has declined greatly in many countries. This one was snapped at the roadside in the Kiskunsag, Hungary, the other day. 

Citrine Wagtail

This time last year we were watching birds like this in Belarus. Sadly, our tours this year are not running because of the... you-know-what. Nevermind, Citrine Wagtail is a great bird and we will see them next time!

White-backed Woodpecker male

Hard to get into the forests right now, so here is one from last spring in the Bukk Hills, Hungary. A male White-backed Woodpecker, one of our favourites. 

Goldcrest

One of the smallest birds in Europe: Goldcrest Regulus regulus. A great and always popular little bird!

Wallcreeper!

We just guided a birding group from the UK in South Moravia, the Czech Republic. The main target for everyone was Wallcreeper... so we and this wonderful stunner obliged! 

FESTIVE GREETINGS!

Pygmy Owl in Belarus

We are starting to look back at our year birding in Central and Eastern Europe. There have been so many highlights! We will post a few images of some of them in the coming weeks. So many very happy and satisfied clients/friends, too. It was a pleasure to guide you all! Anyway, here we go, a Pygmy Owl in May in Belarus. Not a great photo because we did not want to get too close to the nesting hole. It was a very popular little bird!
