Sorry about not posting yesterday. I did go out, but the winds in Budva were 20 mph and gusting to 40! The only picture I managed to get is a bad one of a chaffinch. Happily, the winds had subsided a bit by this morning and were only gusting to 20, plus there were no clouds in the sky, so I had much better luck today.
Here’s a gray wagtail, and it might even be the same one I saw in the river with the white wagtail on Sunday, but I can’t say for sure. It sure was about as jumpy, though.
This might also be the same European robin that I showed you then, but I had more light this morning, so I like this picture better.
Here’s my best image yet of a male western black redstart, and it finally shows the black mask they can have.
Here’s my first Eurasian wren of this trip, who really, really didn’t want to be in any pictures.
Finally, I didn’t recognize this last bird, and I was all excited by the possibility of it being a new species for us, but it turns out to be a dunnock, whom we have seen before in South Holland, but whom I never got to see as clearly as this.
