Bulgaria Buzzard Blizzard

Decided to turn left at the hotel gates this am and bird a different direction. Not a great start and when I got to the river I found it to be obscured by mature trees and bushes. Managed a Moorhen, 7 Mute Swan and some Dullards 😵‍💫.

My despondency on the way back soon evaporated 😁. Common Buzzards were all over the joint! I estimate 13/14 birds were drifting WSW while a similar number were circling around. 
I remembered to check for Long-Legged but found none. Not to worry because I did cop for 2 Short-Toed Eagles & a Sparrowhawk 😜.

Also: 2 Crested Lark, House Sparrows, few Goldfinch, few usual Swallows. Warblers thin on the ground well scrub then so a Sardinian was welcome. Let’s not forget the YLGs.
