Good sunny day on the grassy slopes of Nanos edge. The pair of
GOLDEN EAGLES Aquila chrysaetos was of course the main attraction. They took off together from some cliffs under my "watchpoint" and suddenly appeared in front of me, soaring close-by. I could see the golden crown on naked eye only.
Apart from that I was happy with my first flock of
Fieldfares Turdus pilaris of the season (5 birds). Also around some Siskins
Carduelis spinus, a Bullfnch
Pyrrhula pyrrhula, small flocks of Crossbill
Loxia curvirostra, 2 Black Woodpeckers
Dryocopus martius (one "crossed" the road), a male Sparrowhawk
Accipiter nisus and two Ravens
Corvus corax.
Five Alpine Chamoises
Rupicapra rupicapra were resting down in a scree.
All in all a typical winter Nanos scene.
