We arrived at our apartment in Bohinjska Bistrica two days ago, and almost the
first bird I saw from the balcony, in the garden below, was a male red-backed
shrike. It was on a fence in full sunlight, about 10m away, a stunning bird!
Unfortunately, I've not seen it so close since, but it does still patrol the
perimeter of the garden, and today I watched it hunting insects and chasing
small birds to add to its larder.
Other birds present over the past couple of days, singing male redstart and
black redstart, plus a singing serin. Then tonight, just as we were about to
go out for our evening meal, a hobby shot into the garden and started chasing
sparrows. Breathtaking!
With views like this, who needs to leave the apartment?
