From the fabulous Danube Delta to the magnificent Transylvanian Alps, this book covers all the sites that foreign visitors are most likely to be interested in, including many ‘new’ sites that have not even been described in previous publications.

It replaces the previous book, Finding Birds in Romania and actually includes a wider area. Hence, more sites are covered and in much more detail (roughly twice as much text, twice as many maps). It is based largely on observations made in 2019 when I located species such as Pallas’s Gull, Wallcreeper, Horned Lark, Rock Thrush and Moustached Warbler and found several sites for species like  Paddyfield Warbler, Pied Wheatear, Little Crake, Red-footed Falcon, Long-legged Buzzard and Isabelline Wheatear

Dave Gosney writes:

‘‘In the time I’ve been birding, few countries can have changed as much as Romania. The whole infra-structure is vastly improved, making it an excellent place to visit. Depressingly, some of the birding sites, formerly among the best in Europe, have degenerated alarmingly but thankfully I found several ‘new’ sites that birders will love. Plus, of course, the Danube delta is still an awesome place. ”
