Bulgaria - Srebarna Nature Reserve
Srebarna Nature Reserve
Srebarna is a unique area, which has preserved for millennia now the purity and the primordial power of nature.
Sent by Fidel, a postcrosser from Sofia, Bulgaria.
This is from UNESCO : The Srebarna Nature Reserve is a freshwater lake adjacent to the Danube and extending over 600 ha. It is the breeding ground of almost 100 species of bird, many of which are rare or endangered. Some 80 other bird species migrate and seek refuge there every winter. Among the most interesting bird species are the Dalmatian pelican, great egret, night heron, purple heron, glossy ibis and white spoonbill, white-tailed eagle, little cormorant.
