2015 FotoNotes - Birds in NE Poland

Birds in 2015

21 December
In recent weeks some individuals of Great Grey Shrike of "homeyeri" form were recorded. This is mostly due to greater interest, but further attention to this species is necessary. fot by A.Zbyryt
Winter is very calm this year with temperatures of + 5-10 C. Flock of winter visitors like Waxwings arrived. Whooper Swan flock of ca 150 birds wintering in western Belarus visits eastern Poland for feeding. Normally this species migrates to western Poland for wintering.

4th November
Finally after 4 trips to twitch the RING BILLED GULL in Elk/Masurian Lakeland I managed to spot the bird! It comes here already third season (non-breeding) probably using local rubbish dump and local people feeding the ducks.
