BRC 2019: August 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…
As you’ll see, August is not a very forgiving month in terms of light conditions for photography. It is really hit or miss. Either the skies are covered in thick clouds leaving nothing but silhouettes to be seen, or the skies are clear but the light is very harsh. Luckily, conditions improve massively in September and October…
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:
