Ordinary afternoon bikebirding trip was targeted on Barred Warbler (Sylvia nisoria), that I still miss in my yearlist. I didn't find it but instead I was lucky to spot some other great birds. To be honest I didn't await to spot Grasshopper Warbler or Little Bittern. But it must have been some kind of reward for time spent outdoors. Beside it I will mention just few highlights: adult Eastern Imperial Eagle, 6 Red Kite, 5+ Black Stork, Great Egret, 3 Turtle Dove, Savi's Warbler or Spotted Flycatcher. Full list of observed birds can be found after the photos.
