Day 1 25-07-06
Nothing much on arrival day, however there were plenty of Tree and House Sparrows. On the way to a town called Zrenjanin where my family is, we saw Buzzard, Rook, Kestrel, Jackdaw.
Day 2 26-07-06
A hot day today so we went to the swimming pool for a short swim. The highlights were Green and Great spotted woodpeckers in a small park next to the pool.
We went to a small village called Muzlja, a part of Zrenjanin where my cousins and grandmother is. At night, we went for a bat hunt and saw a Barn owl over. They have a nest in the neighbours house, my cousins say.
Day 3 27-06-06
The usual species seen today.
Day 4 28-06-06
We went to an artificial lake called Peskara (sand quarry) for a swim in the morning. An exciting day as I saw my first new speces, Little Bittern, flying low over the water and into the reedbed. Other species seen were Marsh harrier, BHG, Grey heron and Sand martin.
Days 5-6 29-06-06______30-06-06
Usual species seen these days.
Day 7 31-06-06
A brilliant end to the first week of this trip as we took another trip to Peskara. A huge number of gulls were on the lake made up of YLGs, LBBGs and BHGs. Plenty of Little Bitterns were seen, I estimate that there were between 5-15 of these small herons. 1-2 Marsh harriers went over and suddenly new bird number 2 appeared, Squacco heron, flying over the water towards a patch of reed and landing. On the way back, a Crested lark showed.
