Specific Location
Rila Monastery area
NaturesLens visits Rila Monastery area on small-group wildlife photography holidays in Bulgaria, with time here planned around Amanda’s Blue, Apollo, Chequered Skipper, Clouded Apollo and Dingy Skipper rather than general sightseeing. Current itineraries using Rila Monastery area include Bulgarian Mountain Butterfly Macro, with photography shaped around garden and close-up photography sessions. The forested foothills of the Rila mountains, Bulgaria’s highest range, surrounding the country’s most celebrated monastery at around 1,100m elevation, with the high Rila peaks climbing beyond it. Apollo butterfly is found through the range, & the high circues above the monastery hold a notable cluster of Erebia ringlets recorded in Rila National Park, including Erebia rhodopensis, E. orientalis, E. pronoe, E. neleus & E. ottomana.
