Lithuania

Just 40 minutes up the road was the Lithuanian border so we headed over for the day.  We planned a day by the lakes near to the small village of Meteliai which did look like a town closed down for the summer.  Just next to it was a tower that overlooked the eastern lake which looked great for wildlife but sadly that was the closest we could get.

Just up the road was a parking area next to a big lake - and it was a relaxing place to spent a few hours in the warm sunshine with lovely views across a large water body.  A pair of Pied Flycatcher were breeding here, with a male Icterine Warbler singing heartily from the top of a pine.
