birds (331 species) – 60% of wold population of Pygmy Cormorant (
Phalacocrorax pygmeus) and 50% of paleartic population of White Pelican
(Pelecanus onocrotalus)
Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve is a natural gene bank with inestimable value for the world's natural heritage.
So
you can easily photograph in here the white pelican (Pelecanus
onocrotalus), the Dalmatian pelican (Pelecanus crispus) and the pygmy
cormorant (60% from total world population) (Phalacrocorax pygmeus).
There
are also important colonies of spoonbill (Platalea leucorodia) and
several nesting species of white-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla).
The Danube Delta area is a major halting place (during spring and
autumn) for millions of birds, especially ducks, white storks (Ciconia
ciconia) and numerous predators. During winter, the Danube Delta hosts
huge groups of swans and geese, including almost the entire world
population of red-breasted goose (Branta ruficollis).
| Photograph those beautiful birds without being seenYou
can get closer and take pictures of these birds without being seen or
scaring them with a unique local special build system.
It’s about a barrel lunched near the birds’ colonies that permits to take great pictures.
This technique is precise because the birds aren’t afraid by noises (engine sound).
