Finding Birds in Eastern Bulgaria

Dave Gosney

Gives precise details on how to find the most exciting birds in Eastern Bulgaria - that's everywhere east of Stara Zagora, including Rusenski Lom, Lake Sreburna and the Eastern Rhodopes mountains, as well as all the hotspots along the Black Sea coast.

It replaces the previous book, Finding Birds in Bulgaria, covering a lot more sites in more detail (twice as much text, twice as many maps) but not including the mountain areas further west, the maps and text for which are available here, replicated from the previous book.

Unique features, compared to other publications covering the same area, this one:

• Provides the most useful maps - so you can easily find your way to the best bits of wetland, steppe or woodland.
• Includes GPS co-ordinates to help you find the right turnings, parking spaces or viewing points.
• Highlights the best areas only - and summarises the key attraction in the first paragraph so you can easily decide whether to read on or bother to visit the site.
• Has a map on the inside cover which serves as an index so you can easily find any site in the book.
• Is light and portable (and cheap).
• Is supplemented by the site pages on the Easybirder website (which include photos of many of the locations).
• Is updated in the free update pages on the Easybirder website, giving details of what other birders have found at these sites.

"I was really impressed by the number of exciting birds I found in Bulgaria, not just the breeding species such as Semi-collared Flycatcher, Olive-tree Warbler, Imperial Eagle, Paddyfield Warbler, Eagle Owl and Masked Shrike but also fabulous passage birds such as Broad-billed Sandpiper, Little Crake, Citrine Wagtail and Demoiselle Crane. This book tells you exactly where all these birds were seen as well as wintering species such as Red-breasted Goose, Pallas's Gull and White-headed Duck."
