Last weekend I grabbed the opportunity for an impromptu few days in Poland 🇵🇱 and had 72 fantastic hours in the wonderful Biebzra National Park. What a place, just so many birds. Trip report, photos etc here: ebird.org/tripreport/122892

I headed to Poland 🇵🇱 to enjoy the wide range of Central European breeders, and had four most wanted; singing Aquatic Warblers, seeing Great Spotted Eagle & White-backed Woodpecker on European breeding grounds & finally seeing (not just hearing) River Warbler. Mission successful!

Well, this is all rather exciting. From an observation during a lockdown walk from my house a couple of winters back, to an article in BB, that’s been a fun project to bring to completion.
With thanks to @StephenMenzie, @paulwatts1979, @DickSeekins, @rshill1973 @simonbirding – at East, England

My fondest memories of Christmas was watching TV comedy with my late uncle Ken. Chaplin & Only fools & horses our favourites. I promised on this occasion that one day I’d be in a Christmas special. Thank you for letting me fulfil that #MackenzieCrook @cat_willis #Detectorists xx
