18.4.2009 Táborsko (CR)

Very interesting day again in spite of quite poor start - beginning around noon together with strong winds did not produce much interesting stuff, only two flock of Jackdaws and Rooks on the way back home.

It was much better back home in Košín - today was in sign of raptors - first the Marsh Herrier heading SW and later today two White-tailed Eagles observed for the first time here! They were sitting on top of spruce but after a white they were attacked by Common Buzzard - both have left after ca. 5 minutes heading north. The pair of Long-tailed Tit observed 15.4. has almost finished building their nest on the branch of larch tree some 4 meters above the ground. I have not checked the nest of Eagle Owl as I would have to come as close as 2 meters so I did not want to disturb the bird now during hatching, I hope to hear three little Owls soon...
