Lesser Whitethroat

Paul Demkovich

We were on a cruise ship in the middle of the Baltic Sea, between Gdansk, Poland and Helsinki, Finland, enjoying a meal in an open-air restaurant on deck 10, when I saw a small bird zip past us. My camera was in our stateroom, so I followed the bird along the deck using the camera on my phone to capture some images. As we followed the bird, we found there were two Lesser Whitethroats foraging along the deck and among the furniture capturing insects. It was wonderful to see this life bird in such an unexpected location!
