There are some interesting records from Czech republic.In the first half of July strong several-day rains occurred over Jeseniky and Beskydy Mountains resulting in catastrophic flooding such have never been recorded in Czech republic / kingdom for over 1.000 years. Wild destructing rivers just below the mountains, large amount of water in lowlands... Over 50 people died. After this many water pools / lakes appear in landscape and some of them are still surviving. These pools attracted birds, some of them in unprecedented numbers. Bevan Craddock b.craddock@which.net
