Bulgaria, September 2025, Day Five

After doing the moths and a bit of birding around the village HERE we headed over to Durankulak to meet up with Pavel. After helping Pavel put up a 12 meter net we quickly popped into Shabla Tsula HERE before heading back to meet up with Pavel and do an evening's ringing. Day list from Durankulak HERE.

Highlights included Thrush Nightingale in the hand, juvenile White Pelican and a boost to the trip list with some more waterbirds.

Caspian Tern, Little, Black-headed and Med Gulls, Ringed Plover and Little Stint at Shabla Tsula in the only damp bit of mud on the salt lake 
The expansion of the Branta Lodge Ringing Site, next year we will set up a satellite site at our Kamen Bryag plot with Pavel if all goes to plan. The caravan sale goes through tomorrow and should be in position in the next couple of weeks so all going good.
Always stop off at our favourite local shop on the way to see Pavel
