The strong north east wind is still blowing so I wasn't expecting too much today but even a slow day on the Black Sea Flyway is an excellent day. 'Live' Ebird trip report here. 116 species today, not bad for a day list.
I checked the moth trap first thing (nothing apart from 3 Muslin moths) and then headed to Cape Kaliakra where I met Dimiter and his group. After lunch at Shabla I did Shabla Tusla and Shabla Lakes before teaming up with a bird group who took me to a new site, the Shabla Pump Station which was an excellent little spot.
Highlight of the day was a couple of Little Crakes at the Pump House, a Bulgaria tick.
