Songbird sightings


Stonechat (saxicola torquata) down by the marsh. Our guide book says they, "perch prominently on tops of bushes."



Blue tit (Parus caeruleus)



A male chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs).


The great tit (Parus major) largest of all the tits has 57 distinct calls and songs.


Hmm. Sort of stumped on this one. Some of the colors of the goldfinch but the patterns are off.


An insect eating gray wagtail (Motacilla cinerea) is often found near water.


The European robin (Erithacus rubecula)
