List of birds with an English summary September <strong>2006</strong> DOF Travel, a department of the Copenhagen local branch of the Danish Ornithological Society (DOF), carried out another tour to Burgas in Bulgaria. The tour was designed to follow the huge migration of birds around Burgas. This area is one of the best migration places in Europe especially for raptors, pelicans, and storks. In nearby lakes, fish pounds, parks, small woods, and fields you find many egrets, ducks, waders, and resting passerines on their way south. On this tour an incredible bird list of totally 195 species were made. The highest count we ever have had in a week around Burgas. The tour fee was DKK 4,950 (approx. 660 EUR) including all transportation from Denmark, accommodation, half board, guides, and “official” tips, tour leaders as well as the usual DOF services. We bought the land arrangement of Explorer 2000 Ltd in Bulgaria, contact director Julia Stoyanova (juliastoyanova20 02@yahoo.com). Everything runs as usually very well. She had provided us with a local guide called Ellie (Eleonora Ilieva); who also was a keen birdwatcher. Ellie also did cultural guiding, translation, and arranged packed lunch from the local supermarket. She was no doubt the best all round guide we ever have had in Bulgaria. We stayed at Park Hotel in Burgas. The hotel is situated near the Black Sea and Atanasovsko Lake which you can see from the balcony. The surrounded park is very good for passerines in the morning. Unfortunately the hotel is run down and is in a very poor condition. In the bird list we have divided the huge Atanasovsko Lake into two different areas. Atanasovsko North and South, our border between the two areas is the highway between Burgas and Varna. Atanasovsko South include the area around Park Hotel, the southern lake, the dikes, the shore along Black Sea and the area along the small road east of the lake. Atanasovsko North includes the migration point near the salt workers, the salt ponds, and the small lake and the reed belt north from the point. Nos Emine: We only visit the bush land from the turn off from the Burgas – Varna highway to the next turn right. That means we did not visit the cape Nos Emine itself. Species observed only by one or two persons are marked in the bird list with the observers’ names in brackets. After the English name in the bird list, the Danish bird name is mentioned.
