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.
