The city of Bourgas (also spelled Burgas) is located to the south on the Bulgarian Black sea coast, and is the fourth largest city in Bulgaria.
The City itself is situated in the Bay of Bourgas and is surrounded by Salt plains and protected marsh land. They're protected, as they are on the "Via Pontic" migratory bird route.
The Autumn bird migration is an experience not to be missed. This is the time of year when massive amounts of birds fly down the Black sea coast, making their way to warmer wintering locations in the south.
During this time, thousands of Black Storks, Harriers, Vultures, lesser spotted and short toed Eagles, Buzzards and many other species pass through the area. Rare European raptors can also be spotted as well as huge amounts of smaller birds, some incredibly scarce, as the salt plains, marshland, lakes and reedbeds around Bourgas make perfect cover for tired birds.
The large areas of forestry to the south of Bourgas are also home, and resting place, to many other sought after woodland species. The forestry areas are massive by UK standards and you could easily get lost, I would recommend hiring the services of a local guide, as wild boar and bears can still be found there!
Specialist Holiday companies in the UK are available with set itineries to explore this fabulous region during the migration period, or for the more adventurous there are numerous flights that go directly to Bourgas, which makes an ideal base for exploring the region with it's many Hotels, Bars, shops and Restaurants. It has a superb vibrant and modern atmosphere, whilst still retaining it's heritage.
Anyone interested in Bird watching, breathtaking natural scenery, exploring one of Europes last virtually untouched destinations or simply looking for a cheap holiday, will be delighted with what Bourgas and the South East corner of Bulgaria has to offer!
