Bulgaria: Strandja, 2nd May 2011

A lovely day in one of the loveliest parts of Bulgaria, the Strandja mountains. At last the sun came out, and with in the lizards... of which, fingers crossed, many more tomorrow!

Other highlights of the day were a calling White-backed Woodpecker, a sadly dead Levantine Mole and some interesting plants. But the main highlight today must surely be the sun! At last!!
