Black-winged stilt (Himantopus himantopus) – a slender bird with very long red legs and striking black-and-white plumage. A rarity in Upper Silesia (southern Poland); it migrates from the south and appears mostly during passage or occasional breeding.

This unassuming duck is a Blue-winged Teal (Spatula discors) – a visitor straight from North America! It is an extremely rare sight in Poland.

White-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla).
The photo may not be perfect, but the subject is absolutely extraordinary. A majestic white-tailed eagle in all its glory — a symbol of strength, freedom, and wild nature. Sometimes it’s not about a flawless shot, but about the unforgettable encounter with such a magnificent bird.

For some time now, a Eurasian Treecreeper (Certhia familiaris) 🐦 has been visiting my bird feeder. Today I managed to take a few fairly successful photos of it 📷.
It’s a small, perfectly camouflaged bird whose plumage resembles tree bark.
An interesting little visitor 😊
