BRC 2019: October Photo Report
I’ve recently returned to The Netherlands from 85 amazing days in Georgia, coordinating the 12th season of the Batumi Raptor Count. It has been a fantastic, unforgettable season!
Like last year, I have decided to simply compile the best and/or most interesting photos per month from when I arrived on August 6th til when I left the country on October 26th. Identification pointers for photos are added frequently so counters for future seasons can ‘pre-prepare’ by going through the photos as well. Apologies for the large photos and a page that will probably load pretty slow. I hope the wait is worth it…
Contrary to September, there were lots of opportunities to photograph birds. Migration in October is fairly calm, with relatively few birds, resulting in much less ‘coordination’ work in this month and thus more opportunities for photos. In the end, I have made many thousands of photos — especially of the large eagles — that I will not yet display here, but that I will share at some point in the future in some species galleries somewhere else on this website. For now, a quick-’n-dirty selection will have to do. Enjoy!
The most complete overview of the past season, which will also go into detail about things not photographed, can be found in the Autumn Report of 2019 published on the BRC website.
I recommend going through the photo reports in chronological order:
