Had a stroll on a karstic grassland near Sežana this evening and saw a couple of birds including 6
Red-backed Shrikes (above), 3
Hoopoes (flushed from the woodland's border), 1
Melodious Warbler, 1 pale-morph male
Honey Buzzard, 2 Alpine Swifts, 2 Corn Buntings and 6 Skylarks.
Also some interesting plants were around. Here's a couple of pics (can't resist...the botany side's too strong):
