After 3 days of digging the snow from the road, we managed to get the Golden Eagle photography hide. This young bird was somewhat afraid to land and start feeding until its parent sat nearby when the youngster got confidence and fed for an hour or so. What a superb bird!

Wallcreeper photography in Bulgaria

Wallcreepers are superb birds to observe and photograph. Unfortunately they are ever so difficult being either too high, or in too dark places. There is a traditional place in Bulgaria where I take my birdwatching and photography groups to at least this lovely bird. In certain time of the year the birds can be photographed. Some people say this is one of the best sites in Europe where the birds can be observed just by the road. More images can be found on my blog post here http://danbirder.blogspot.com/2014/07/wallcreeper-photography-in-bulgaria.html

The photography season of Dalmatian Pelicans is nearly here. At evening light these majestic creatures present superb opportunities for photography. I still have a few more places left in my Dalmatian Pelican and Vultures workshop, so if interested have a look at the itinerary here: http://naturemonitoring.com/dalmatian-pelican-griffon-vulture-photography-trip/
