I managed to relocate Dotterel which was found by German group on 30. Dec. The bird was in a flock of Northern Lapwings and one European Golden Plover. Eastern Imperial Eagles winter in good numbers most of them being juvenile birds. Indian Roller and two Red-watled Lapwings, however, weren’t anymore in the area.
