On October 18, 2015 during a routine birding survey around Lake Durankulak I had fabulous views of an adult Pallas’s Leaf Warbler (Phylloscopus proregulus), feeding low in the trees at the western part of Durankulak Lake (some 300 meters from Branta Birding Lodge). The observation was accepted by the Bulgarian National Rarities Committee (BUNARCO).
To the best of my knowledge, it is the third documented record of this species for Bulgaria.
