Although it is present in Struma river in
the winter, the Great Egret is observed singly or in small flocks with Grey Herons in swampy areas of the river.

The wild ducks are everywhere in wetlands. Teals, Mallards, Shelducks, Wigeons, fly over unfrozen sections of the river and ponds or fed in the shallows and reedbeds.

Coots clustered into a single large flock in the middle of ponds, often mixed with Little Grebes and ducks.

high branch or
observed from nearby power lines.

This year wintering Lapwings are very few, as the first birds were observed at the beginning of December. We hope that large flocks from the north is yet to arrive.

This is the season of Common Buzzards, which can
be seen everywhere often perched on roadside
poles in waiting
the traffic to help generate the necessary food.

and an winter visitor
– the Brambling (Fringilla
montifringilla).

And
finally a young late migrant which we wish him quickly to find its way to the
south.
