Will attempt to post a selection of plants from recent trip to southern Croatia recently. Starting with a selection of orchids:
Early Spider Orchid (locally abundant), Giant Orchid (one colony found) and Naked Man Orchid (several colonies found) #Croatia #NaturalistAbroad #orchid
Pleasantly surprised by diversity of waterfowl on Croatian coast recently with multiple Black-throated Divers, Black-necked and Slavonian Grebes plus mixed flock of 25 Garganeys and 6 Ferruginous Ducks seen from hotel balcony at Tucepi. All very distant though #NaturalistAbroad
Every available waterbody in southern Croatia recently seemed to have Marsh Frogs (Pelophylax group) present, in a variety of colours and invariably very noisy.
