| | BirdForum - Romania 29.April - 10.May 2006 - Danube Delta flooded |
 | | after one night in braila we headed westward through the big romanian plains, the baragan, with its salty steppe lakes and visited the southern carpathians staying at zarnesti including zarnesti gorge, visits of the bran and peles castles and a trip to the bucegi-plateau. |
 | | unfortunately i didn’t find the nests themselves because i had to leave the place, a steppe lake in the baragan, before a dark wall of stormy rain would transform the small dirt road into slippery, unpassable mud. |
 | | only 1 osprey at chiobasesti-lake in the baragan and very few honey buzzards in the last days (zarnesti-gorge, bucharest and the baragan) together with only one single 2cy montague’s harrier is very unusal for this time of the year and SE-romania - caused by the steady NE-winds. |
