I have recently returned from a two-week family holiday on the Dalmatian- Adriatic Coast based in Montenegro and enjoying regular windless daily temperatures of c25C. There was a good variety of birds including warblers, flycatchers, corvids, hirundines and raptors, with many moving south. Perhaps the highlights were Alpine Chough and Pygmy Cormorant.
Butterflies were in abundance with over 20 species recorded including Pigmy Skipper, Wood White, Great- banded Grayling,Clouded Yellow, Swallowtail and Lang's short-tailed Blue.
We particularly appreciated our all-inclusive hotel with its wall-to-wall food and its well stocked self-service free bar (spirits,wines,beers,etc) open 12 hours a day (11am-11pm),but it took real willpower to go out for our regular(sober)energetic birding and butterflying walks. No pink mammals(other than Homo non-sapiens),birds or butterflies recorded-well not by us,anyway.
Regards,
Freddy
