I was on a visit to Scotland at the start of May and, as is customary, got sick as a dog shortly after coming back to Slovakia. Either I am allergic to my home country or those tough Scots germs are just too much for me these days. Unfortunately, it meant that I missed two of the most… Continue reading 25.5-2.6.2019 : Late spring review

The weeks of rain have cleared to a scorching heat; temperatures upwards of 30. I’ve been hit with a ton of work, so the two visits I managed to the patch last week were rushed with little to report and few photos to share. No sign of any red-backed shrikes since the half dozen or so I saw… Continue reading 8-9.6.2019:Hot stuff

The longer I stay in Slovakia, the more I seem to love hot weather; or maybe I’m just getting older, like some Miami retiree.

We thought we’d take advantage of that to spy out the lie… Continue reading Slothful Encounter

Tuesday 08 October 2002-Thursday 10 October 2002. Egypt. A fun part of our first visit to Egypt, back in 2002, was a four night cruise down the Nile on one of those posh cruiseboats. In fact, it was only a two day cruise, with one night spent at Aswan and two nights at Luxor, with the day in… Continue reading Life on the Nile

Tuesday 15 December 2009. Panama. Panama was a new country to us, and we didn’t want to spend every day on the hotel site. We’d arranged a couple of days out with a birdguiding company, Birding Panama, and today was to be the first outing. A nice young local couple, Jose and Mia, with excellent English (putting our… Continue reading Panama City Birding
