Description
The area to the south of Karnobat is a mosaic of habitats, providing good conditions for variety of interesting birds. Open stony pastures are inhabited by European ground squirrel, which attracts Krstaš and Orao kliktaš, sometimes Stepski soko and and Stepski orao. The holes of the rodents are used for nesting by Stepska beloguza. Several stone quarries are breeding places for Buljina, Sredozemna beloguza and Obična beloguza, and in some years - by numerous colonies of Ružičasti čvorak. At some of the small pools in the area Utva zlatokrila can be observed.
