I had the chance to spend some days in Bulgaria again. Here is one example from the "Eagle" session in the mountains. An amazing experience!! This is the female, which was even larger than the male. Very impressive birds.

Another picture from my session with the Dipper. Despite the very close distance (appr. 4m), the Dipper was relaxed enough to take care of his feathers etc..

I took this picture some days ago in Bulgaria while sitting in a "low level" hide, waiting for the Sparrowhawk. The Wagtail was very relaxed and seemed to enjoy a nice, quiet autumn morning.

Placing a hide next to a drinking pool for cattle was very productive. Amongst others this Turtle Dove came for a quick refreshing morning bath. I considered myself very lucky to catch this photo in great light conditions especially since this species is quite shy normally . Scientific name: Streptopelia turtur
