The open spaces around Lake Ilmen are ideal for birding and we might see…
…the handsome Citrine Wagtail…
…and the pugnacious Red-backed Shrike.
There will be time to visit the anvient town of Novgorod with its own Kremlin…
…where clouds of Common Swifts screech over the spires.
Wetlands and marshes are widespread…
…and contain species such as Corncrake…
…Lanceolated Warbler, at this season in full song,…
…and this Terek Sandpiper, here at the very western edge of its breeding range.
The landscapes throughout are atmospheric; here a windmill at dusk near Novgorod.
