St. Michael’s summer birding along the Danube in Serbia

10,000 Birds

En route, the first wintering flock of Greylag Geese is already here, followed by Crested Larks , Corn Buntings , Eurasian Linnet , Great Grey Shrike , Common Snipe , Pygmy Cormorant , and Eurasian Marsh Harrier close by. They are colourful and small, some mere newspaper kiosks transported here, barely big enough for a bed and fishing rods.

Serendip Sanctuary, Victoria

10,000 Birds

Serendip Sanctuary is a 250 ha protected area that is near the You Yangs and the small town of Lara, Victoria. You can easily get there via public transport by taking the train to Lara from either Geelong or Melbourne if you do not have access to a vehicle. The Cape Barren Geese had goslings when I visited.
