Eurotrip 2019, Day 18: Cape Kaliakra and Bolata

Started the day off at the Cape Ebird list here and ended it at Bolata Ebird list here.

 Red-rumped Swallow in the Bolata reed bed hirundine and Yellow Wagtail roost 
 Black-throated Diver circling the Cape this morning. Also had 3 Caspian Tern go over.
 Moulting adult Little Gull. There seemed to be large numbers following fishing boats- need to bring the scope out to check. Also had dolphins breaching at distance- presumably Bottle-nosed.
 One of the better Eastern Black-eared Wheatear candidates I've had amongst the Pied Wheatears
 Jersey Black Arches 
Ecpyrrhorrhoe rubiginalis

I've got a few photos of potential Black-eared Wheatears too - need to read up and look a bit harder! Interesting to see the different species you are picking up as the days go on.

Those Wheatears are certainly tricky!
Yes an interesting change in weather today too- much cooler with cloud. Had a few soaring birds going over and more vis mig.
