Bulgaria

Lesser Whitethroat

The autumn migration along the Black Sea coastline in Bulgaria can be quite spectacular. Multitudes of warblers such as this Lesser Whitethroat pass through and can turn up almost anywhere. This one was on the headland at Kaliakra.

Mediterranean Gull

Outside the beeding season, the very white wings of the Mediterranean Gull are a good i.d. feature

Red-backed Shrike

By autumn, male Red-breasted Flycatchers have lost their red colours. However, their white flashes in the tail and buzzing call help with the identification.
