In 2024, the autumn migration of waders at my favourite site ended early due to severe flooding in southern Poland. Before the area was submerged, heavy rain and high August temperatures brought fresh vegetation to the exposed reservoir bed. In this almost spring-like atmosphere, I was able to photograph this wood sandpiper among other early migrants.
