This book 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.

Dave Gosney writes:

‘‘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.”
