Before the Greek border

Another travel day, this time from Bulgaria into Northern Greece. First though a stop at the Borino meadows, for some Corncrake spotting....before heading to the banks of the River Nestos.

Somewhere in this pasture - there's a Corncrake calling...

Enjoying the sun.

Roman Snail.

And after a while - a sighting of the elusive Corncrake (In the middle of the photo).

Colourful bugs - Spilostethus sp

A service station stop - some nice Green-winged Orchids.

Heading towards the Nestos River enroute to Falkro Mountain.

View on the way...

Collecting sand from the riverside of the Nestos.

R. Nestos, with Nightingales calling, Bee Eaters, Cuckoos and Little Ringed-plover.

The churches are a mixture of denominations, including mosques and minarets.

Colourful Spurges.
