Red-breasted Geese

Unique opportunity to visit the world wintering site of the stunning and very endangered Red-breasted Goose.

We provide comfortable and affordable accommodation at Branta Birding Lodge overlooking Durankulak Lake and Black Sea in Bulgaria.

Large concentrations of White-fronted Geese plus a few of the exceedingly rare Lesser White-fronted Goose also feature in the programme, plus a large array of waterfowl including divers, grebes and ducks. There is good chance of an Eagle Owl and outside possibility of Greater Black-headed Gull. Little and Pontic Gulls, desmaresti sub-species of Shag, Syrian Woodpecker, Calandra Lark and Bearded Tit are also on the agenda. Raptors are well represented too including White-tailed Eagle, Rough-legged and Long-legged Buzzards, Marsh and Hen Harriers, Merlin, Peregrine and, with a good luck, Saker Falcon and Greater Spotted Eagle may be spotted.

The best time of year to see Red-breasted Geese is during the months of January and February.

Programme may be adapted to your schedule.
