Škocjanski zatok Nature Resreve, Koper, Slovenia


Today we moved from the mountains north of Ljubljana to the Mediterranean coast in the south of Slovenia, between Koper and Strunjan. Near Koper we called in at Škocjanski zatok nature reserve. It's a great place which surely would be even better on an early morning in late April, but today I had to be content with a couple of hours in the baking heat just after lunch. 

Even so, I saw my first pygmy cormorants since Greece in 1988, plus a lot of other more typical Mediterranean wetland species. 

I'm currently unable to access the photos on my camera, so all photos are from my phone. I'll update these posts with hopefully better photos when I get home.






Earlier we had visited the impressive Predjama castle with colonies of crag and house martins.
