Descrição
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 Águia-real, Gralha-de-bico-amarelo, Corvo, Ferreirinha-alpina, Petinha-ribeirinha, Cotovia-cornuda (the Balkan subspecies balcanica with extensive black on the throat, a likely future species split), Melro-de-peito-branco (alpine subspecies alpestris), Cia and if you are lucky, Trepadeira-dos-muros.
The mixed conifer forests are important for Quebra-nozes (look for them collecting seed from Macedonian Pine [Pinus peuce] cones), Cruza-bico-comum (on my visit, two different forms, one small-billed, feeding on Norway Spruce [Picea abies] cones, the other large-billed and closely resembling Cruza-bico-papagaio, feeding on Balkan endemic Bosnian Pine [Pinus heldreichii] cones), chapim-montês (the alpine subspecies montanus), Pica-pau-cinzento, Pica-pau-preto, Estrelinha-de-poupa, Estrelinha-de-cabeça-listada, Trepadeira-do-bosque and Chapim-de-poupa. The alpine chalets hold breeding Andorinhão-pálido and Androinha-das-rochas, both of which feed widely over the valley, and Rabirruivo-preto.
Lower down, the mixed woodland around Bansko holds Pica-pau-mediano (which can even be seen in parks and gardens in Bansko) and Trepadeira-comum. Also look for passage migrants like Felosa-icterina and Felosa-assobiadeira. Open areas have Gralha-cinzenta, Chamariz-comum, and Escrevedeira-de-garganta-preta as well as Escrevedeira-amarela. Overhead, Andorinha-dáurica feed together with more familiar Andorinho-dos-beirais and Andorinha-das-chaminés. The river holds Melro-d'água and Alvéola-cinzenta along its full length.
Detalhes
Acesso
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.

NãoInformação 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.
