If you head inland from Albena in the general direction of
Batovo, you find a large area of plans and steppes. It was here that we found it most productive for
migrating raptors.
Ten's of Steepe Buzzards, Rough-legged Buzzard, twelve Red-footed
Falcons and several Levant Sparrowhawks. A
proper feast for the eye!
