miri, it also belongs to the nymphalids. I think it's the Silver-washed Fritillary-Argynnis paphia.

On my mountain paths I always watch for butterflies too, so I already have quite a few in my collection. Mostly I have identified them. But the problem is with photographing. Last time we visited Kozjanski park, a gentleman who is a great expert on flora and fauna in the park and also leads tours spoke about the park's butterflies. He said that if it's sunny, they all fly. If it's cloudy, butterflies sit on plants. That's a great opportunity for photographing. But mostly they have closed wings and we can't photograph them in all their beauty.

Thanks Velkavrh, it seemed similar to me, but the white spots in the middle of black confused me , ligea doesn't have them.(I photographed on Bitenjska planina).
Turbo, thanks to you too for the info.

At Špirovec in the roof peak birds have been nesting for a couple of years in a row. Probably a nest of the Black Redstart, but I'm not quite sure

Pikica1, you're right, it's indeed the Black Redstart. Quite a rare bird. Everyone should wish for it in their garden or orchard, as it sings beautifully and eats all the caterpillars. We also find it in the hills, in light deciduous forests, on larger forest clearings and higher up in larch forests. Similar and more common, but a bit less colorful, is the Dunnock.
Now I'll describe an interesting incident that happened to me a couple of days ago. "Yesterday I was forced by unfortunate circumstances to do unusual work 'birdwatcher's GRS'. To explain: while scrambling along the pathless ridge between Gubni and Dovški Gamsovec, during a steep descent I unintentionally stepped on a family of Willow Tits. Well, mama Willow Tit and 3 chicks jumped away just in time, but one I kicked with the next step down the slope, straight into a deep and narrow crevice. The chick couldn't climb out at all. So I lay down on the ground and barely reached it with my hand. When I finally got it in my fist, it started chirping. That totally enraged mama Willow Tit, who uncompromisingly rushed at me and pecked my thigh nicely, even to blood. When I got up, the physical reckoning was over, but mama Willow Tit was visibly angry. Quickly I took a souvenir photo of the Razor chick, put it down 'safe' and packed up. From a safe distance I then watched the 'happy family reunion' for another 15 minutes."
Besides Willow Tits I saw quite a few rock sparrows, wallcreeper, water pipit, willow warbler, etc.

Ornitolog, I didn't know you were also a "tit rescuer".  Very nice deed.

Dipper. When I first watched it diving for a longer time, I was almost stunned by its underwater pranks.

Hi,
I observed such a gull years ago on Bohinj lake from the top of Pršivec (with binoculars). On the way back I saw it at the bridge in Ribčev Laz. The correct name of this species is Yellow-legged Gull. True, we are most used to yellow-legged gulls from the sea, but the division into "river" and "sea" gulls is not correct. Both appear everywhere. For example, yellow-legged gulls have been nesting for years in Ljubljana, Maribor, Ptuj, Dravograd, in autumn there can be more than 10,000 just in Styria
Dipper photos are top-notch !

I photographed the first one on Bovškem in the valley, the second in Kačji graben above Pišnica. Maybe you know what species it is?

djimuzl, if I'm not mistaken, there are on your pictures 1- šmarnica (female) and 2- šoja.
Today near Jesenice I "caught" (probably) 2 females of rjavoglavega srakoperja.

Ornitolog, can you confirm that it's rjavoglavega srakoperja on the upper photos, thanks! Nice day to all!
