    One of my favorite birds. What were you doing in Georgia - is it worth a trip? Posted 7 years ago

      I was visiting in friends in Tbilisi, and doing some hiking in the Caucasus. I can absolutely recommend a visit! It's beautiful, has very diverse landscapes, incredibly friendly people, good food, it's quite cheap, not too touristy yet, but easy to get around. Posted 7 years ago
