Short trip to Croatia

The last five days I spent in Moscenicka Draga, a small Village on the Istria Peninsula. Although it was basically a beachside vacation, I did a half-day birding trip to the back-country. Despite the blistering heat we did some nice observations.

The bird from which the penetrant song came: Zitting Cisticola

Common Bee-Eater:

As I was walking along the riverbed in which the Bee-Eater colony was located, I noticed a bird fluttering on the ground. At first I tried to take a picture:

To make sure that the bird wasn't injured or something, I tried to catch it, but it wasn't that easy!

The injured bird turned out to be a just flown out juvenile bird! Then I put it on a small tree so that it could wait for its parents to feed him!
