Štrba (Slovakia) on 4th June 2008

An overnight stop in the Tatra Mountains at a hotel in Starý Smokovec (few birds seen here, probably due to virtually all of the trees having been torn down by a .tornado in November 2004), was followed by a trip by narrow gauge railway to Štrbské Pleso, and then by rack railway to Tatranská Štrba. Here, whilst waiting for our special train to arrive, there were nesting Swallows, White Wagtails, and Serins to be seen, and also Woodland Ringlets again. On our way to Hungary, at a place I did not note the name of, I managed a record shot of a male Marsh Harrier from the window of the moving train.

Please Note: Blogger seems to be making it difficult for some (many?) people to leave comments on blogs, and also making it difficult for the recipient of comments to detect that a comment has been left. If you have any difficulties leaving a comment on the blog, please feel free to email me on richard@peglermail.co.uk. However, if you are solely trying to promote your own blog or business by leaving a link in your comment, it will be blocked. If anyone wants to find you as a result of a comment that you have left, they can do so by looking at your profile.

Please, Blogger, get this mess sorted out.
