[Friday, April 5, 2012]
We got 2 spare hours of daylight so we decided to visit system of fishponds near Malacky. We hoped that rain will start later but it interrupted us while we were checking empty fishpond for some waders. That short stop brought new species in my 2012 yearlist: Barn Swallow, Osprey, Little Ringed Plover, Green Sandpiper, Common Redshank, Dunlin, Yellow Wagtail, Savi's Warbler.
