January 2023

My yearlist reached 56 in January - compared to 130 of a leader not much but gives me enough satisfaction.

White-billed Diver discovered by Wojtek Lapinski remaining at lake near Elk 11-24 Jan.

Mild winter attracted several birds to come earlier to the marshes - Cranes and Greylag Geese accompanied by Barnacle and Pink-footed. I expect some cold weather in February anyway.

Unusual wintering Scaup in Wasilkow resevoir remaining for several days. Bisons as usual present near Krynki - at least 100.
