21st to 23rd September - Estonia

With work, uni and illness, I've pretty much given up on UK birding and am just going to stick to world birding!  A weekend in Estonia helped with that, adding a small number of cool species including Capercaillie (FINALLY) to my life list, as well as the actual target of the weekend, Brown Bear.  Massive thanks to Oliver Simms for letting me tag along and for doing the driving!

Beautiful sea
I must have taken 20 photos of this bloody Nuthatch and this was still only the best I could manage.  Sigh.

 And now for what you've all been waiting for - the worst ever photos of a bear, tahdah!
