    Bulgaria tour guides

    Hi - I'm staying for 10 days near Burgas, Bulgaria, in June. I was hoping to take a few days birding. I have the Dave Gosney book, but ideally would like to get a guide to show me the best areas, perhaps for a couple of day trips. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks all.

    Sharp-shinned or Coopers?

    Thanks all - I'm from the UK and when I saw the bird landing my first thought on size was Merlin, which I think fits better with Sharp-shinned. Thanks again.

    Common fiscal shrike - northern or southern?

    As I have been creating my world list on BUBO, I realise that my 'common fiscal shrike' from Lake Manyara in Tanzania in 2010 has been split into northern and southern. Is there any way to differentiate by photographs? I saw an adult and a juvenile as attached. Thanks in advance! Dave

    Caspian Gull, Cley?

    A 3rd winter caspian gull has been reported as a regular roosting bird on simmond's scrape at Cley recently. I picked out this bird on Sunday as a good contender but would be grateful for any thoughts. Sorry for the truly awful digiscoping quality.

    Grey or Golden plovers?

    Thanks - could well be a barwit. To be honest I was so fixated on grey plover that I didn't think of anything else! It didn't wake up for an hour so never saw the bill. Thanks for your help.

    Took these today in East Yorkshire. I suspect just an ordinary reed warbler juvenile, but are the smudgy flanks normal? Thanks
