Paddyfield Warbler photography in Bulgaria

Paddyfield Warbler is an Asian species and many birders have seen it there. However, there aren't many places in Europe where one can see it. The Western border of its distribution range is on the Western Black Sea coast, namely several sites at the Bulgarian and Romanian Black sea coast. These are the only places in Europe where the species breeds. Of course it is occasionally observed as a vagrant in a number of Western European countries but hard to guarantee. Well, we are lucky to have it breeding in Bulgaria and show it to our guests coming for birding trips.

Here are a few images I took during the birdwatching trips that I guided this year:

Turnstone photography

Another photography session proved successful. This time the objects were a couple of Turnstones which was calmly sitting and feeding in Poda reserve in Bulgaria regardless of the group of 5 photographers that I guided.

Ortolan Bunting photography

Ortolan Buntings are charismatic birds. Perhaps this is one of the reason for every foreign birdwatcher and wildlife photographer coming to Bulgaria to search for them. I got these shots during one of the birdwatching and photography trips that I guided around Bulgaria in may this year. Enjoy:
