Mapping date

[theseeker58]

Hi,
still practicing avro and golang. I couldn't figure out how to map date field.
This is my struct

type Employee struct {
	ID        string    `json:"id" avro:"id"`
	Firstname string    `json:"firstname" binding:"alpha" avro:"firstname"`
	Surname   string    `json:"surname" avro:"surname"`
	Salary    float64   `json:"salary,omitempty" binding:"gte=1000" avro:"salary"`
	Birthdate time.Time `json:"birthdate,omitempty" avro:"birthdate"`
	Addresses []Address `json:"addresses,omitempty" avro:"addresses"`

and this the schema

{
  "name": "Employee",
  "namespace": "com.fsajeva.avro",
  "type": "record",
  "fields": [
    {
      "name": "id",
      "type": "string"
    },
    {
      "name": "firstname",
      "type": "string"
    },
    {
      "name": "surname",
      "type": "string"
    },
    {
      "name": "salary",
      "type": "double"
    },
    {
      "name": "birthdate",
      "type": "int",
      "logicalType": "date"
    },
    {
      "name": "addresses",
      "type": {
    	    "type": "array",
	    "items": {
          "name": "Address",
          "namespace": "com.fsajeva.avro",
          "type": "record",
          "fields": [
            {
              "name": "street",
              "type": "string"
            },
            {
              "name": "zipCode",
              "type": "string"
            },
            {
              "name": "city",
              "type": "string"
            },
            {
              "name": "country",
              "type": "string"
            }
          ]
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

Without the birthdate field everything works properly. Adding birthdate during marshal I get the error
Birthdate: avro: time.Time is unsupported for Avro int
even though in the documentation the type conversion table maps Avro int.date to Go time.Time
I am making a mistake for sure, but where? Can you help me plZ?
Thank you

Common mistake. The logical type is on the field, which is not correct, it must be on the type.

{
      "name": "birthdate",
      "type": {"type": "int", "logicalType": "date"}
    },
