Bulgaria 3 – 12 June 2010

Conservation Project

The Bulgarian Society for the Protection of Birds, the BirdLife partner in Bulgaria, manages the Poda Nature Protected Site. Close to the city of Bourgas, the coastal lagoon is a key staging ground for water birds during migration and in winter it hosts thousands of pygmy cormorants. It has a fine heronry and the only breeding colony of spoonbills along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast.
