Alas, the long slog to spring will take many, many more frigid, blustery weeks. On the other hand, the devils that drive Corey to relentlessly hunt rarities keep him warm even in freezing temps.

Actually, I am not waiting for them, but for the Eastern Imperial Eagle to come here to hunt Susliks – an eagle from one of the last two remaining nests in Serbia.

Squacco Heron – the same as previous, from the left Danube bank levees, also the Veliko Blato Lake (Mika Alas fish farm in the suburb of Krnjaca, #3). Little Bittern is a reed-bed skulker and much harder to observe. The best spot is the Reva Pond #6.
