That is Amazing. I may or may not visit Sofia in early June so seeing this news does put a smile on my face.

In case you plan to visit Black Sea coast also. Directly in northern Burgas is a salt lagoon Atanasovsko. Last month a large flamingo colony started to build nests there. Is visible even without binoculars from open path.

There is no Tantalus monkey for a long time. I should update the ZTL. The only White-tailed Mongoose in Europe and the only place in Europe with the Opossum on display. Plzen's animals are off show.
