Rose-coloured Starling breeding in Dobrudja, West Coast of Black Sea
Year 2018 brought us some really nice birding surprizes and one reason was the Rose-coloured Starlings breeding in two places along the west coast of Black Sea, in Romania and Bulgaria. The romanian colony was as big as 2500 breeding pairs. The breeding started in the end of May and the last chicks left the colony in the end of July. Last time this species has bred in 2003 in Romania!
