A report will be posted later; here are some pix. More later, too.
Arriving at Rzeszów airport at lunchtime, I found my way through the city, via a Tesco (!), for basics, and out south.
I took a couple of hours on the drive to Zagórz, a small town on the River Osława, stopping at likely spots close to the road.
Golden Orioles and a few Red-backed Shrikes were slightly different from England.
After checking into the hotel, I drove down the river a bit, getting good views of River & Icterine Warblers.
Towards dusk, both Black and White Storks flew in/over.
The next day, I drove south-east towards Muczne, in the far corner of Poland, close on the border with Ukraine.
I was to spend 3 nights here, in the idyllic Willa Arnika.
Ring Ousels and Red-backed Shrikes were in the garden. Fantastic and varied habitat nearby.
I ‘ticked’ my White-backed Woodpecker (having previously only heard them, in Spain and the Czech Republic) and renewed acquaintanceship with Nutcracker, Black Woodpecker and Dipper.
Despite having been given sites for Collared Flycatcher, I saw neither these, nor Red-breasted or Pied the whole trip ! ! Nightingales were absent, too, with Red-backed Shrikes far fewer in numbers than I would have thought. I saw no Turtle Doves.
Most of my time I spent in search of butterflies, however.
