Bulgaria Days Four and Five

Yesterday we started the day off at Cape Kaliakra Ebird list here, did a bit around Kamen Bryag and then headed off to Shaba Tusla Ebird list here . Highlights included a juvenile Red-footed Falcon.

Today we mainly spent around Kamen Bryag in the morning which was great with a River Warbler in the Oak Wood (a lifer!), a couple of first-winter Ring Ouzels and some nice vis-mig including a flock of 52 Spoonbills, Levant Sparrowhawks, Ospreys, Lesser Spotted Eagle and Long-legged Buzzard. Ebird list here.

In the afternoon today we tried the migration watch point at Balchik but it was evidently better around Kamen Bryag. We picked up Dylan in town ahead of a couple of days doing conservation work on the plot.
