Eurasian Stone-curlew - Burhinus oedicnemus
New bird species for me. A difficult bird to find and photograph in Bulgaria. Few pairs nest here. I know one of the places where they nest - on the northern Black Sea coast. I have visited it several times without success. This year I was lucky to have this bird fly under the rays of the rising sun a few minutes after I arrived at the place. Great luck. There are a few dozen birds gathering these days, preparing to fly away. But I don't have a chance to go there right now!
The Eurasian stone curlew, Eurasian thick-knee, or simply stone-curlew is a northern species of the Burhinidae bird family.
