The Common Pelican — Our Neighbor at Mila 23

The Danube Delta is a UNESCO biosphere reserve hosting over 300 bird species.

The Rosca-Buhaiova Colony

Forty minutes by boat lies the largest common pelican colony in Europe — between 2,500 and 4,000 pairs nest here every spring.

When can you see them

• April-May — arrive from Africa and nest
