The Goosander Mergus merganser range expansion on the Balkan Peninsula and a new breeding population in Bulgaria
Abstract
The Goosander Mergus merganser was not recorded breeding in Bulgaria till recently. We present herewith the very first record of the species breeding in the country and estimate the size of its breeding population in Bulgaria. Thus, we propose a change in its status in the country with more effort to be invested in the survey of this small, isolated population.
