Hi,
Will be going on a birding trip to Bulgaria in a few months. Was wondering if there are any books focusing on the natural history of the country or region that would be a good read beforehand. (I am NOT looking for bird finding information by the way; I am already familiar with all the resources in that regard). I ran across a DVD called "Wild Balkans.” But would prefer something in book form.
Have also checked tourist guides like the "Rough Guide to Bulgaria"; but they are only superficial when it comes to nature. (Also has some peculiar errors--twice boasting that birders should come to Bulgaria to sample some of its “seventy species of heron.”)
