Bulgaria, November 2018, Day 6, Shipka Birding

Spent the afternoon birding the fields east of Shipka village. Pristine agro-ecosystem with large numbers of Yellowhammers, Corn Buntings, Tree Sparrows, Chaffinch, Brambling and Skylarks with quartering Hen Harrier and Long-legged and Common Buzzards. Ebird list HERE 

Here's a few pics:

Here's a local bird list I compiled in 2016- got a few birds to add to the list from the two trips here this year including Gull-billed Tern, Marsh Tit and Brambling.

    Hello Unknown entity/ robot,
    of all the posts you could have randomly posted this on, this is one of the few where I am not actually ranting and crying about what a bunch of ecocidal bastards Viridor are and what dirty lackeys Sutton Council are.
    I haven't clicked on your New Years Resolution Ideas link because indeed it is probably a virus infected link but thanks for offering to share your STD
    Thank you dear
