Descripción
A river valley high in the Pirin (Пирин) Mountains between Vihren (2914 m) and Todorin Vrah (2746 m), this site holds an excellent range of alpine and subalpine birds. Above the 2,300-2,400 m tree line, the grassy slopes have Águila Real, Chova Piquigualda, Cuervo Grande, Acentor Alpino, Bisbita Alpino, Alondra Cornuda (the Balkan subspecies balcanica with extensive black on the throat, a likely future species split), Mirlo Capiblanco (alpine subspecies alpestris), Escribano Montesino and if you are lucky, Treparriscos.
The mixed conifer forests are important for Cascanueces Común (look for them collecting seed from Macedonian Pine [Pinus peuce] cones), Piquitureto Común (on my visit, two different forms, one small-billed, feeding on Norway Spruce [Picea abies] cones, the other large-billed and closely resembling Piquituerto Lorito, feeding on Balkan endemic Bosnian Pine [Pinus heldreichii] cones), Carbonero Montano (the alpine subspecies montanus), Pito Cano, Picamaderos Negro, Reyezuelo Sencillo, Reyezuelo Listado, Agateador Euroasiático and Herrerillo Capuchino. The alpine chalets hold breeding Vencejo Pálido and Avión Roquero, both of which feed widely over the valley, and Colirrojo Tizón.
Lower down, the mixed woodland around Bansko holds Pico Mediano (which can even be seen in parks and gardens in Bansko) and Agateador Europeo. Also look for passage migrants like Zarcero Icterino and Mosquitero Silbador. Open areas have Corneja Cenicienta, Serín Verdecillo, and Escribano Soteño as well as Escribano Cerillo. Overhead, Golondrina Dáurica feed together with more familiar Avión Común and Golondrina Común. The river holds Mirlo-acuático Europeo and Lavandera Cascadeña along its full length.

Accesso
The mountain resort of Bansko (Банско) has an excellent range of accomodation and can be reached easily by train or bus from the capital Sofia. From Bansko, the best option is to hire a taxi to either the Banderitsa Chalet (Хижа Бъндерица, 14 km) or Vihren Chalet (Хижа Вихрен, 16 km), where you can also stay to explore the area, or walk along the many footpaths back to Bansko.

NoInformación extra
My visit was in autumn, after most summer visitors had left. If there are other good species to be seen here in spring or summer, please leave a note below and I will add the details!
As well as the many birds, the site holds occasional Brown Bear and Wolf. It is botanically very rich, including the famous 'Байкушевата мура' ('Baikushev's pine'), an ancient Черна мура / Bosnian Pine (Pinus heldreichii) estimated to be over 1,300 years old, one of the oldest trees in the whole of Europe.
Thanks to Stivi Musievski for tips on additional birds that can be found here.
