Morning walk at Devínska Kobyla

The Small Carpathians just over Bratislava provide a perfect place for a walk. The length and difficulty is completely upon yourself. I try to prove why it's worth of it to have a walk across the forests and meadows of Small Carpathians. This is what I observed during Sunday morning walk.

BIRDS:
Middle Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos medius)

FLOWERS:
Yellow Pheasant's Eye (Adonis vernalis)
Greater Pasque Flower (Pulsatilla grandis)
 INSECTS:
Oil Beetle (Meloe sp.)
 MAMMALS:
Red Squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris)
LANDSCAPES:
Devín castle over the confluence of rivers Danube and Morava
