50 species on our Romanian Mammal Tour
Our annual Spring birdingtours in the region were finished well and are easily traced from the already published trip reports by clicking here, where one more tasty paper is adding spice to all the birding stuff.
We have been working hard in the past years to improve not just our birdwatching tours but the ones focusing on mammals as well. This year the hard work payed off as we reached 50 recorded mammal species on our Romanian Mammal Tour in just 9 days of eventful and exciting search with some very special ones inluded like Romanian Hamster or the European Mink.

Preparation for the Spring tours
A part of Sakertours' team visited the Mountains in Slovakia as part of the preparation works for this year's birdwatching tours. A few days spent in the mountains were a refreshing experience as snow was still covering the majority of the area at higher elevations. However, even the heavy snow and harsh conditions couldn't stop us finding some good birds and enjoying a great time together – birwatching is always fun and joy.
Some new spots were discovered and well known places were checked and now we are waiting for a successful start of the season.
