Birds

Over 220 species of bird have been recorded within the Central Balkan national park, of which over 120 are thought to breed. Not surprisingly, the region has been internationally recognised as an Important Bird Area. In the beech forests, chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs), robin (Erithacus rubecula), wren (Troglodytes troglodytes) and blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla) are dominant, with other typical species being song thrush (Turdus philomelos), blackbird (Turdus merula), chiffchaff (Phylloscopus collybita), coal tit (Parus ater), nuthatch (Sitta europaea), great tit (Parus major), treecreeper (Certhia familiaris), woodpigeon (Columba palumbus), bullfinch (Pyrrhula pyrrhula), marsh tit (Parus palustris) and blue tit (Parus caeruleus). Also present in the beech forests, but less often seen, are red-breasted flycatcher (Ficedula parva), collared flycatcher (Ficedula albicollis), wood warbler (Phylloscopus sibilatrix), white-backed woodpecker (Dendrocopos leucotos ssp. lilfordi) and lesser spotted woodpecker (Dendrocopos minor).
