While I’m busy sitting in plane seats all day, here are just a couple more pictures from the trip that I haven’t shown you yet. I mentioned yesterday that a Eurasian blackcap let me get its picture two days in a row, and here’s the picture from the second day. Nearly as common as theContinue reading “Prague wrap-up…”

One last peek at the critters of Prague.
It was another gorgeous morning in Prague for my last morning out, and this time I was lucky enough to get close to one of the tufted ducks on the Vitava River. You may recall that I saw them often in South Holland, but here is where I saw them first on this trip. I’veContinue reading “One last peek at the critters of Prague.”
Birds of Petřín Hill, Praha
We had a nice train ride to Prague yesterday, a great dinner out, and this morning I got up good-and-early to see what critters might be around. I was happy to find that there is a big park on a hill just to the west of downtown, called Petřín Hill, and similar to the oneContinue reading “Birds of Petřín Hill, Praha”
On to Praha!
Truth be told, I wouldn’t mind being on my way home right now, and while we are technically moving in that direction, we’ve got one more stop to make because it would be a crying shame to come all this way and not stop in to visit the “the historical capital of Bohemia,” which myContinue reading “On to Praha!”
Kraków morning 2…
We had some rain last evening in Kraków, which did a nice job of cooling things off a bit. Even better, the rain and most of the clouds it blew in on had departed by morning, so it was a great time to go out looking for wildlife. After finding the gates locked at aContinue reading “Kraków morning 2…”
Greetings from Kraków…
Our first stop on our way home from L’viv is Kraków, the medieval capital of Poland, and I finally had a chance this morning to get out early and take some pictures of the local wildlife. Yay! One of the first locals to greet me was this male black redstart. I saw my first redstartContinue reading “Greetings from Kraków…”
An explanation…
I thought I’d be able to take some nice pictures and post them for you on this trip, as I’ve done on so many trips before, but this trip is unlike any trip I’ve ever taken, and now that we’ve been successful, I can tell you why. This time, the purpose of the trip hasContinue reading “An explanation…”
Place holder…
We had some car trouble today, so arrived at our hotel, in Poland, a good four hours later than planned, and this will not be the post I had hoped to write. I did see some nice birds in Germany this morning, including a blue tit, which I failed to capture on film, and aContinue reading “Place holder…”
Not what I expected to find…
The first stop of this new adventure is London, and I had some time yesterday afternoon to go out looking for wildlife, as you know I like to do, so here’s a familiar face from my days in South Holland: a European robin. There are water features here, so we shouldn’t be surprised that IContinue reading “Not what I expected to find…”
Travel day, part 3…
Yes, “travel day” does imply one day, but it’s an overnight flight across a few time zones, so the line gets a little blurry. Then, I didn’t know how long it will take me to find you some new pictures, and I’ve still got some owlet pictures to show you, so here we are. IContinue reading “Travel day, part 3…”
