Observation details
At about 3.15 PM on 2 January 2020, while carrying out a bird survey around Durankulak Lake , I observed and photographed a single Great Bustard (Otis tarda) in a ploughed field on the north-western edge of the lake. Presumably this is the same bird that was first seen on 28 December 2019 by Peter Carnall, a British guest of Branta Birding Lodge, who was lucky enough to spot a flying Great Bustard from the window of his room at about 7.35 AM. The sighting was later confirmed by other birdwatchers and avian specialists from Bulgaria, Great Britain and Romania, namely my good friends and colleagues Dimiter Georgiev, Mihail Iliev, Minko Madjarov, Chris Day and Iliuta Goean.
