Doh!
Predictably with me on the first day of a trip to Georgia, there was a monster sea-watching session in BK today. Sabine's gull, Leach's petrel and sooty shearwater; all of which would have been patch year-ticks... Still mustn't grumble, although we spent most of today either shopping in Tbilisi or relocating to the hills, we did OK for birds. The oak forest above Tbilisi at Kodjori proved to be good for red-breasted flycatcher and green warbler and we had a few migrants including incredibly a female Menetrie's warbler, as well as a nice gang of ortolan! In cool, overcast conditions there was little evidence of raptor migration, although there were a number of grounded buzzards along the way. It should be a good trip.
