We can expect to see over 200 species of birds, and we start in the mountains around Trigrad and Rhodope. This is a beautiful landscape with cliffs, rivers and farmland. We will see many species such as Griffon Vulture, Black Vulture, Egyptian Vulture and Black Stork, and perhaps also Eastern Imperial Eagle if we are lucky. We might also see Wallcreeper, Western Rock Nuthatch, Blue Rock Trush, Lesser Grey Shrike, Masked Shrike, Long-legged Buzzard, Hobby, Golden Oriole, Blackthroated Wheatear, Isabelline Wheatear, Sombre Tit, Black-headed Bunting, Subalpine warbler, Olive-tree Warbler and many others.
We drive on to Bourgas, a flat area close to the Black sea. This landscape has lots of small lakes and saltpans, and is regarded as one of the richest bird areas in Europe. White Pelican, Pygmy Cormorant and Ruddy Shelduck are found among many other ducks and waders. We also expect to find Roller, Semi-collared flycatcher and many other species.
We continue along the coast of the Black sea to the areas near the Romanian border. Here we will find farmland, lakes and steppe areas, with a diverse bird fauna. Among the numerous wetland birds we expect to find Dalmatian Pelican, Little Bittern and Glossy Ibis. Besides we hope to find Levant Sparrowhawk, Red-footed falcon, Caspian Gull, Olivaceous Warbler, Black-eared Wheatear, Pied Wheatear and five larks to mention a few, and Paddyfield warbler would be worth seeing.
