Estonia May 2015
An early May visit that avoided the biting bugs but also missed the later arriving warblers like Blyth’s Reed. Huge numbers of geese, Barnacle, Beans and White-fronts were still present throughout. One of my main targets was Citrine Wagtail and we did see a few and managed some moderate images but could have been better. The woodpeckers were also an attraction with White-backed, Grey-headed, Black, Greater and Lesser Spotted all seen. The Ural Owl was a nice bonus find but the wet grasslands and riverine habitats were superb and although the Great Snipe leck was only observed in the dark I managed some sound recordings linked below along with some song of Thrush Nightingales.
