EDIT (Marika)
- Valchi Dol is the name of the district
- the lake is most often described as General Kiselovo Dam (Dam lake) or on your photos Voyvodino Lake (both are derived from the nearby villages name)
+ later:
- if you zoom the open street map, there is the name "Арабаджидере" - it is the river name: Arabajidere (the right tributary of the river Karamandere)
- general Panteley Kiselov: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panteley_Kiselov
- General Kiselovo dam-lake offers opportunities for a great catch - silver carp, carp, grass carp and craw-fish

MIGRATION - SITUATION as of 15.10

[marika.solo]

our member and my good e-friend Mrs Darina Valkova visited Kaia's previous area and we have current photos of this dam area (we talked about this possibility yesterday)

Darinka, thank you very, very much!

Today I visited the place where Kaya visited Bulgaria. General Kiselovo Dam. This dam welcomes many birds in spring and fall. Black storks have been seen both spring and autumn, possibly our Kaya too. I talked to the owners of the dam - fishing is prohibited because of poachers, the place is constantly guarded. There have been many pelicans, herons, cormorants and swans, but at the lower end of the dam and we didn't have time to go down there. There are plenty of fish in the dam and our Kaya has been feeding well.
