The famous Dobrogea area, along the Black Sea coast of Romania, one of Europe's finest birding area with a variety of superb habitats including steppes, forests, gorges, alkaline-saline wetlands, lagoons, fresh water lakes and its consequently supports an incredible bird life, and during migration its even better... Attila is there with a party of US birders enjoying some great sightings of flocks of Broad-billed and Curlew Sandpipers, Ruddy Shelduck, Collared Pratincoles, Paddifield Warblers, Bllack-headed and Ortolan Bunting, Calandra and Short-toed Larks to name a few. Raptors are performing well too, the scenic Cheia gorge producing superb close views of Booted Eagle, and Levant Sparrowhawk. They will move on deep into the Danube Delta UNESCO World Heritage Site for another 3 nights to enjoy what the Worlds largest reed ecosystem has to offer.
Discovering this vast area can be done only by a floating hotel, or staying ashore deep in the Delta and using small motor boats as there are no roads going there.
