Eurotrip 2019- Day Thirteen, Bolata

Spent this morning at Bolata wetlands and gorge. Ebird list HERE. It seemed a bit quieter migrant wise today which seemed to be confirmed by lower numbers in the fields by the guesthouse too in the evening. 

There was a nice little haul in the moth trap this morning. I also trawled the night recording tracks- a few mystery calls and a Tree Pipit and Spotted Flycatcher. 


Lesser Whitethroat
 Another Pied/Eastern Black-eared Wheatear. The ill defined supercilium and rather pale mantle suggests this might be an EBE candidate. 
 Turtle Doves 
 Montagu's Harrier vs wind turbine 
Golden Oriole- only 10+ going into the Pine roost this evening 
 Lappet
Pale Shoulder (above and below) 

 Ancylolomia tentaculella (?) A relatively speaking huge beast. 
 Heliomata glarearia and Pale Shoulder 
Fig Leaf Roller 
 Pygmy Footman (?)
 Hecatera cappa (thanks Martin!)
Four spotted
Lythria purpuaria (thanks Martin!)
 Bolata Gorge
The imposing and sinister wind farm on the Bulgarian Steppe
