Kokkuvõte / Summary




Sügis ongi lõpuks käes. Viimane aeg teha kokkuvõte suvistest sulelistest.
Sel aastal mul miskipärast oli suhteliselt tagasihoidlik linnusuvi, kuigi mõni huvitav persoonikohtumine siiski oli – aed-põõsalinnuga, käblikuga, lauguga, salu-lehelinnuga.
Tekstilugu seekord vähe, pildilugu jälle rohkem.

Autumn has finally arrived. Last chance to make summary of summer and its birds.
This year it was a bit lesser birding for me but still I had some interesting personal meetings with some of them, like wren, coot, garden warbler.
This time it is less text and more photos.

Horvaatias / In Croatia




Horvaatia on põnev maa. Väga mitmekesine looduse, kultuuri ja arhitektuuri poolest. Ma ei läinud linnureisile, pigem niisama reisile, aga noppisin üles kõik sulelised, kes olid nõus natuke poseerima.

3 päeva Zagrebis, 3 päeva Istrias ja 2 päeva Plitvička Jezeras + 1 päev lennujaama sõitmiseks. Palju sõitmist.

Kokkuvõttes nägin üht-teist põnevat, mitmed linnuliigid olid tuttavad, mõned nende tuttavate alamliigid.

Esimene linnaväline kohtumine oli faasaniga, kes toimetas mingil põllul ja häälitses. Päike kõrvetas palavalt, õues oli väga kuum. Mõtlesin, et hiilin faasanile lähemale kui korraga käis selja taga (kuidas juba seal?!) sisisemine ja ma tardusin. Kui ringi pöörasin et sisisemise allikat otsida, nägi oma käsivarre jämedust musta vorsti põõsastikku libisevat. Taandusin ettevaatlikult minema. Kõrvetava päikese käes oli faasan miraažina haihtunud.

Väga palju nägin hiireviusid, musträstaid, koldvinte.

Plitvička Jezeras tervitas mind vana tuttav vesipapp.

Croatia is very interesting country. Variety in nature, in culture and architecture is big. I didn't go to a bird trip, just a regular adventure, but I picked up every bird who was willing enough to pose for my camera.

3 days in Zagreb, 3 days in Istria and 2 days in Plitvička Jezera + 1 day driving to airport. Lots of driving.

I saw some interesting birds, many of them were known to me, some of them were subspieces of the known ones.

First encounter out of town was a pheasant. He was doing its pheasanty things on some field and I decided to get closer. It was a very hot day and Sun was burning high. Suddenly I heard a loud hssss... and it came behind me?! I froze for a moment and then turned myself around very slowly and saw black snake vanishing in the bushes. It was big as my arm. Luckily it was the end of the snake, not beginning. I lost my pheasant appetite and retreated. The pheasant was also gone like a mirage.

On the road I saw lots of buzzards, blackbirds and European serins. And a lot more of course. In Plitvička Jezera I met my old acquaintance - the dipper.
