A long weekend for Capercaillie in Latvia seemed a great idea, a few messages to Gaidis Grandans who I had previously met at Getlini and a trip was arranged ..
A 2 hour drive from the airport to a forest in Smiltene and we were met by this awesome bird ..
We saw 3 separate Ural Owls over the weekend ..
Ural Owl
Tawny Owl
Pygmy Owl
Woodpeckers on the sunday showed well with ..
Black, Great, Lesser, White-backed and Three-toed.
White-backed Woodpecker
Three-toed Woodpecker
Nutcracker
And about 30 minutes from the Caper on friday was this bird on Sunday just magnificent birds ..
