Birding the humid subtropical Europe
10,000 Birds
JULY 1, 2021
Here along the banks of the Danube, with Central Europe at one and the Balkans at the other bank, mid-summer is a tricky part of the year if you are a birder. The sun rises a few minutes before 5 a.m. and the crack of dawn starts by 4:15 a.m. already, so I am waking up at 3:30 a.m. to be out there on time. That early, the air temperature is still close to 20°C/68°F, but in only a few short hours it will be close to thirty, to reach more than 35°C/95°F by mid-day.
