19.06.2013 y. Bird photography in Bulgaria proves successful with 46 bird species photographed with NatureTravel.eu
A recent two week visit to our cottage has just ended. Hawi Grömping from Germany visited us for two weeks in the beginning of June aiming to photograph Golden Oriole, Ortolan Bunting, Bee-eaters, Middle spotted Woodpecker, Barred Warbler, Tawny Pipit, etc. As a result of the trip our guest managed to get decent shots of 46 bird species.
"It was a good trip to Bulgaria and I hope to come back to Ognyanovo". This is what Hawi suggested in an email with some of his images after the trip.
You can see the full list of all the species photographed at the bottom of the page here. Feel free to have a look at other images of Hawi on his website containing photos of 517 bird species.
Here are some of the images of our guest:
