Krum (male, hatched 2023) wintering 2024-25

[marika.solo]

whole day 29.10.2024

Bulgaria: Popovitsa - a village in Municipality Sadovo, District of Plovdiv

- So far, Krum seems to have found the perfect place: he spends the night in the area of Martvitsata (protected area) and fewer than 2 km to the north he forages and rests by one of the irrigation canals in the local rice fields.
- Zdá sa, že Krum si nateraz našiel ideálne miesto: nocuje na území Martvitsata (chránené územie) a menek ako 2 km na sever hľadá potravu a odpočíva pri jednom zo zavlažovacích kanálov na miestnych ryžových poliach.
