Exploring the Danube Delta


Just one , and probably the most fascinating, of the many amazing parts of my country : The Danube Delta. Amazing large wetland, formed over a period of more than 10000 years, has the third largest biodiversity in the world, with over 5500 flora and fauna species. I had the exciting opportunity to go on a boat trip exploring a little the channels of this superb delta. We left early in the morning and once we turned around the corner we found, 'having breakfast' : white pelicans together with the graceful swans and the 'cheeky' ospreys .... the swans floated slowly away when they heard our boat approaching, the ospreys flew away as well, only the pelicans stayed for awhile so we can admire them quietly. On a different channel we found beautiful water lilies, staying above the most amazing clear water. Then there were the frogs, the tortoises and the fastest dragon flies :) .... and so much more ... It was an amazing day for exploring :D
