Enjoying a cold beer in the garden as the sun sets over the mountains we are treated to a wonderful display of White Storks as they pass over the village, its that time of the year when the young and their parents move on to the woodlands in the next village . The family of White Storks that spends the spring and most of the summer across the raod from our cottage moved on a couple of days ago, their are still a few full nest in our village the ones that had a late arrival to the village and started breeding late this dew to the bad weather this April. As they start to fly above our cottage its was time to grap the camera and fit the long lens then start pressing the shutter button and capturing some images, with some under exposing to help the colours in the sky about half a stop. A reward was a colection of lovely simple image captures.

Lots British tourist are interested in Bulgaria not only for its cheap food and beer, but for its cultural, birding, wildlife and environmental tourism. Bulgaria is an up and coming county for visiting tourist and travelers .  Ski facilities and summer resorts are still the most preferred by many UK tourists.  British tourists who used to prefer destinations like Spain, Tunisia and Egypt  are now looking at Bulgaria.
