The Macedonian Ecological Society, together with its members, held a birdwatching event at Smilkovsko Lake on October 5th in honor of the European Birdwatching Days.
Despite the morning storm in Skopje, attendance at the event was excellent, and many bird species could be seen using the lake as a resting and feeding stop during their migration.
We spotted falcons, pheasants, herons, sandpipers, ducks, grebes, gulls, and other species. We were also accompanied by local stray dogs, who, fortunately, did not mind our presence.
Below, you can view the photographs taken by Velijan Jagev, Mirjana, Bobi Kuzmanoski, and Slave Nakev.
