TRANSFER - CENTRAL BALKAN MOUNTAINS TO SOFIA
Some of the group took a walk before our early breakfast, the weather was just perfect, a clear blue sky and no wind. It was a pity we never had more time because I am sure some good things would have turned up.
We had to be content with Eurasian Bullfinch, Goldcrest, Blackcap and Chiffchaff. We took breakfast at 6:30am and were on our way by 7:15am.
Our journey to the airport was uneventful, just a few sightings but we couldn't stop because of the time. Common Buzzard, Lesser Grey Shrike, Hawfinch, White Stork were some of the species we left behind as we arrived at the airport.
I flew out at 11:50am whilst the group had a few hours to kill before their flight at 6pm so they organised a none birding tour into Sofia, I hope it went well for them.
It was the end of another excellent tour of Bulgaria, it was more a photographic trip than pure birding, only two of the group kept a record of the birds seen and as a consequence there was never a bird count so I have just done one; We saw 185 species and heard a couple more, I think most of these were photographed at some stage during the trip.
A great tour in a great birding country, can't wait to return next year, why not come along with us, see details at the top of the blog.
