Finally some ringing

Today I came home :) The first thing I did was to go to my village and set up the net. I ringed two Robins and one male Blackcap. I also found Red-backed Shrikes nest. So I'm happy now , I finally made some ringing :)

My new book

Yesterday I finally bought Pocked Birds of Britain and Europe. I'm very happy because It's very hard to find so useful books here in Bulgaria :)

More snakes and turtles

My brother and father went to Dunav river for fishing.They caught only one small fish and they released it. The pictures below are of water snake and a turtle.

Old picture

I found a picture of myself. It's made one year ago by my brother.

This is me preparing for ringing and fishing trip( I got only one fish that day).

Oriolus oriolus and Lanius Collurio nest

Today my brother and my father managed to rind three Golden Orioles. They also took pictures of them. I've never ringed an Golden oriole so I consider it for a big success. My brother also send me pictures of 5 little Lanius Collurio in their nest.

Lanius Senator in Northwestern Bulgaria

Yesterday a received a call from my father in Belogradchik. He told me that he saw a male LAnius Senator hunting near the road. I was very surprised because for nine years of ringing I had never seen that bird.
There is no chance Lanius Senator to be mistaken with Lanius Collurio as you can see below.

Woodchat Shrike(Lanius Senator)

Red-backed Shrike(Lanius Collurio)

As you can see that Lanius Senator isn't a typical bird for northwestern Bulgaria.

Time for Lanius Collurio

Hi people :) Yesterday I took one of my exams and now I'm planing to go home after few days. I called my brother and he told me that he had found a lot of Lanius Collurio nests . So hope I will gather as much information as possible. Wish me good luck. Cheers !!!

Pictures of an adder !

I'm sorry for posting something else in Bird blog but I thought this will be interesting. This is a little adder caught by my father. I can ensure you it was safely released.

Turtles

Few week ago I went to my hometown to see my father and my brother. Then Sasho and me decided to go to my village. The weather was perfect and we just couldn't resist to take a little walk. We fount these beautiful turtles in one small forest near the village. (I'm sorry for the late post but I received the pictures now).
I was happy that day because I was able to spend some time with my brother. Now he is far from me , but I hope soon we will take walks again :)

This is me :)
