  1. Fantastic capture, Jivko! Posted 2 years ago
    1. First photos from Lithuania! Posted 2 years ago
      1. Which was in the description already lol. Posted 2 years ago
        1. I'm glad you reiterated it because I didn't understand that from the description. I thought Jivko meant it was the 1st spotting of the species in Lithuania, lol. Yay for some Lithuania photos! Posted 2 years ago
        2. I still don't know how many species I've photographed here. I have one more day for photos before I leave the country. But I'm glad the white spots on the map of Europe are diminishing. Posted 2 years ago
    2. Thanks, Christine! Those were crazy weather conditions. The situation changed literally every 30 min - we were not prepared for heavy rain at all. Sunshine, high winds, clouds and rain alternated constantly and no forecast knew it. But that's why the windsurfers were very happy. Posted 2 years ago
      1. Wow! The weather makes for a very dramatic photo. I've read that Lithuania is a great place for nature lovers to visit. I'm excited to see more of your photos and hope you're having a wonderful trip! Posted 2 years ago
        1. Hi Christine, thank you so much. Yes, I've made a lot of photos in Lithuania. I am still on the way and shall be back home in the second half of August when I shall be able to process the photos. Some species I have yet to identify because I am not sure of them. Posted 2 years ago

The dunlin is a small wader, sometimes separated with the other "stints" in "Erolia". It is a circumpolar breeder in Arctic or subarctic regions.
