Prague
Last weekend I went on a purely touristy visit to the city of Prague. By touristy, I mean that I left my scope at home - the bins had to come given the outside chance of Grey-headed Woodpecker and Collared Flycatcher in the city parks. No luck with those species, but I did manage to digibin a male Great Spotted Woodpecker...
... and the Prague skyline!
Otherwise, two Common Sandpipers (migrants, I suppose) spotted from a pedalo on the River Vltava and the usual array of city/parkland birds (including abundant Short-toed Treecreeper) were about all the birding I managed between sightseeing, eating, drinking and siestas.
Sunset over St Vitus Cathedral.
