Nesting White Stork (Ciconia ciconia)He was kind enough to show me around his 'home birding turf' very close to his house. We got some fleeting views of Reed Bunting (Emberiza schoeniclus) and Bluethroat (Luscinia svecica). And the highlight of the day was hearing the mating call of the male - Great Bittern (Botaurus stellaris), which is a deep fog-horn or bull-like boom, easily audible also from large distances - sadly it was not possible to view this almost invisible bird in a perfect habitat of reedbeds.
