We were already up much before sunrise and after breakfast we drove to check the bay and cape. Chaffinches had amazing migration going and we decided to stay in one spot to watch the migrants and maybe waiting for good opportunities to photograph birds.
In few hours we were so cold that had to go inside for a break and for coffee. Thousands of Chaffinches and Siskins, two Swallows, many Sparrow Hawks, many flocks of Long-tailed Tits and others were counted.
Here is some photos from this morning.
