Sightings in Pomorie lagoon

Posted by Rossen


After the end of spring migration in June the Pomorie lagoon is inhabited only by birds breeding in the coastal lagoon and habitats along the Black Sea. Here my target species were Sandwich Tern and a dragonfly species occurring mainly in salt marshes and lagoons of the Black Sea.

Sandwich Tern nests in the Pomorie lagoon on an artificial island in the colony with other species such as Little Tern and Common Tern.
