Golden oriole. The last bird. Part one of three films on bird photography in Bulgaria.

Many years ago when I was still a teenager I created a list of all the regular British birds. The resident species, summer and winter visitors. Then I declared I was going to photograph them all.

50 plus years later and I still have one to go. The Golden oriole.

Today it would not be on my list as it is now classed as a Passage bird in the U.K and not a regular summer visitor.

I have been to Bulgaria many times and known Emil Enchev for years. With his help and two guides who work for him, Miro and Nikki I went to try and photograph the last bird on my list.

Emil runs tours for wildlife photographers to Bulgaria and Greece and his web site is https://cometobg.com/
