NEW mammalwatching tour: Eurasian Lynx Tour in Transylvania
We are happy to announce our latest mammalwatching tour in Transylvania! On this specialized tour we wil target to see the 'ghost of the forest', the Eurasian Lynx. We have been working for years to locate territoires and set- up this tour and finally decided our chances are as good as it can be with this shy mammal. If you interested in this tour take a look of the detailed write-up of this single based (7 days) tour in Transylvania.

Winter season behind – 2021 Spring ahead
Spring is here, however freezing cold mornings suggests the opposite, the migrant birds are coming back. We already have bigger numbers of Northern Lapwings and some European Golden Plovers while the winter staging Fieldfares are still found around in flocks.
The arrival of Spring also means we finished the Eagle photography season. This winter was productive as usual at our hides, with some very special avian guests in front of our hides.
For a brief summary of the Winter hide photography check our Hortobágy Bird Photography blog.

Our team in Transylvania was also active. Snow situation is always more serious there compared to the one in the Hortobágy region, this year it was not as strong as usual. Probably that was the reason for a higher activity of bears in snowy conditions giving some superb opportunities to photograph them. For a selection of images of not just bears click on our Transylvania Blog.

Our new mammal watching tours now onilne!
In the year of 2020 when travelling was restricted we devoted our time to plan and design as well as try out our ideas for a mammal watching tour. The inaugural tour was a great succes (report of 2020 tour) and now we offer two different tours for those interested to watch mammals!
One of the tour is a full 9 days adventure to Romania and try to see as many species on a single tour as possible. While the other is a short tour focusing on the Danube Delta and trying to see the critically endangered European Mink.
We hope to see you on any of these tours – adventures!
