Ring Ouzel is one of my favourite birds, so it’s been pleasing to see so many in Georgia on the slopes around Stepantsminda. The birds here are the striking subspecies amicorum #phonescoped

Having wanted to see Güldenstädt's Redstart since seeing them in Collins, it was only natural we found ourselves enjoying these beauties in the picturesque Georgian mountain town of Stepantsminda over Easter 🇬🇪🏔️❄️

Glorious weekend in Stepantsminda. The church is the C14th Gergeti Trinity Church. It sits on a hill at 2183m, overlooking the town. The Soviets once started to build a cable car up to the church, but locals were indignant. They thought their devotion was being questioned. The project was scrapped!

Road trip north on the Georgian Military Highway. Built in 1799, the GMH runs from Tbilisi through the Caucasus Mountains to the Russian city of Vladikavkaz. I stayed in Stepantsminda, formerly known as Kazbegi. The town sits at 1740m and is surrounded on all sides by mountains. A beautiful setting.

Good morning from Stepantsminda, formerly Kazbegi. Wonderful to wake up to this view. Plan today is a drive up to the Russian border to visit Dariali Monastery, then a slow meander back to Tbilisi. Hired a car with some friends this time, so I don't have to risk my life on the minibus taxi!

Great to start to our @wisebirding.bsky.social tour of Georgia & Armenia. After scoring Green Warbler, Semicollared & Red-breasted Flycatchers during a stop on our way north, we were treated to 13 Güldenstädt's Redstarts at Stepantsminda. And a bear. Boom! #WiseBirding #birds #birding #Georgia
