Report: Austria & Croatia - 3rd - 28th June 2003. By Jeremy
& Sandra Götsch. This was a summer tour around Austria, cleaning
up a few birds that Sandra particularly wanted to see, then a 10-day trip
to Croatia, along the coast, returning inland. Effectively no information
was available to us before we visited Croatia, so we missed a lot.
Report: Eastern Europe (Poland - Hungary - Croatia - Austria),
2003 - by: Rob van Bemmelen, Kasper Hendriks, Wesley Overman, and Ben Wielstra.
July 2003 was the moment for 4 young birders from The Netherlands to do
some interesting birding in the eastern part of Europe. July is of
course not the best time to go birding because most birds are relatively
non-active in summer. But, as all the participants attain some sort of
school during the rest of the year, a trip this long in spring was no option.
The group departed on Saturday the 28th of June and returned on Sunday
the 27th of July 2003.
