Starting my yearly bird list in Romania was always going to be a bit of a challenge, because during the winter time most of the birds fly south and west to avoid the cold weather. Despite this there were still a few 'decent' species on show, and although we saw fewer than 20 species today we still managed to see Great Grey Shrike, Hawfinch, Crested Lark, Fieldfare (a Romanian 'tick'), Tree Sparrow and I think Syrian Woodpecker! Having never seen a Syrian Woodpecker before, I'll having to go back a make sure it definitely is one!
One of several Tree Sparrows seen. Unfortunately, a sight that is no longer common across most of the UK!
