My little Georgian friend

In Tusheti, in the Georgian Caucasus Mountains I spot this little fellow in the grass. I think he's a wagtail.

He allowed me get closer and closer until I dared stretch out a hand. to my amazement he hopped on board and stayed there for a good minute until flying away. Just awesome !!!!


My enduring memory of this fantastic country will be happy animals and birds.


Cows, sheep, horses and goats have free reign over the mountains. The grass is lush and peppered with wild flowers, a truly unspoilt piece of the world. 


Long may it remain so.
