This stunning Wryneck was one of the highlights of my year of birding around East Slovakia, a simply magnificent little bird. See my Review of 2025 for more (link in the post below)
@SFbirding Thanks! The airport is great for raptors, and I love cycling there (mostly because there are no hills...). I just wish there was a bit more shade in the summer; Dundonians are not really built for 35 °...
This Pygmy Owl had just caught a Wren when I saw it in the forest near Košice this morning. It gives you an idea of just how tiny these owls are, they are truly well named
