Résumé :	During the post-breeding period, Black Storks in SE Bulgaria predominantly feed in dry open areas were abundant insect prey is readily available. We investigated the composition of 42 pellets which contained mainly grasshoppers (Orthoptera: 93.3 % of total number of prey items) with a predominance of Decticus spec. (88.4%). In addition, beetles (Coleoptera) were important (5.8 %), particularly Carabidae (3.1 %). Thus post-breeding diet in this area is not as different from that of White Stork as it is in the breeding period.
