Prague birds

Just returned from an excellent trip to Prague, Black Redstarts heard singing from the hotel, heard and seen around Charles Bridge the far end and one showed quite well singing in the Jewish cemetery. On Charles Bridge, 2 Jackdaws were very obliging. A trip to an ecological park revealed a showy Nuthatch and obliging male Blackcap. A trip up Petrin Hill revealed a singing and an obliging Great - spotted Woodpecker, a Red Squirrel seen around the base of the tree then it scampered up the tree trunk, it was more dark brown than red but the ear tufts seen clearly. A Green Woodpecker called and near the bottom of the hill an obliging Lesser Whitethroat scolded from the middle of a bush and Green Woodpecker showed really well on the trunk of a tree pity I didn't have my big lenses with me! Swallows seen flying around the bridge area. Funny that no dogs seen and the birds were obliging.
