Walk in the fields

Day started with great observation of flock of 150+ Waxwings. Some of them were roosting on the TV aerial on the opposite roof.
Waxwings (Bombycilla garrulus)
I decided to make a walk across the fields between Rožňava and Jovice. I hoped to spot some uncommon Rough-legged Buzzard. There were only the Common ones and some other birds. Let's check it.

Fieldfare (Turdus pilaris)
Magpie (Pica pica)

Bulrush (Typha sp.)
I thought that nothing could beat today's Waxwings but I was wrong. To be honest it was an "owlsome" mistake...
