Red-footed Falcon box check....

Mike and our good friend John went out today to check on the Red-footed Falcon boxes that we have up just outside the village.

















It was difficult to see throught he trees so it was lucky they had the GPS ,that was donated by MYBulgaria , to help them!
Although they are still not being used there has been signs of activity in the area.

















In the next few months we hope to meet up with the volunteers again to talk about planning the building of the boxes for next Spring...

Pelican update

We are very pleased to be able to report that at least 70 pairs of Dalmatian Pelican have bred sucessfully here in Srebarna!

While they are clearly visible with the scope it is very difficult to get any pictures of them.

This is such a relief after last year and hopefully mean that we will have another 70 young Pelicans flying around us very soon!
