Services:
Outstanding birdwatching commences, quite literally, from your doorstep. Nature excursions quickly access bird-rich locations around protected lakes, fishponds and riparian forests along the Danube - in both Bulgaria and Romania. Lake Srebarna, situated beside the south bank of the Danube, supports the only colony of Dalmatian Pelicans in Bulgaria. It also hosts over 150 breeding birds, including Ruddy Shelduck, Red-necked Grebe, Great and Little Egrets, Night, Squacco and Purple Herons, Glossy Ibis, Spoonbill, Pygmy Cormorant and Whiskered Tern, while the lake margins feature typical nesting haunts of Levant, Golden Oriole, Penduline Tit, Roller, Syrian and Grey-headed Woodpeckers. The adjacent river islands accommodate Cormorant colonies, also a nesting pair of White-tailed Eagles plus Black Woodpeckers. Numerous migrants pass through, including Black Storks, abundant raptors, waders and passerines; and, during winter, the area becomes a refuge for migrant wildfowl including the enigmatic Red-breasted Goose
