Late Winter in Transylvania Photography Tour

/

We have crafted a new tour for our photographer friends and clients! This hide based photography tour is targeting wildlife in Transylvania in March! Conditions can be variable from year to year but early and mid March still can be cold and wintry. We will hope to capture Pine Marten in winter coat, Brown Bears in snowy conditions, various woodpeckers at our feeders, stalking the fantastic Ural Owl and our clients could even try to connect with Eurasian Lynx when our expert guide will take them to our hides! This is a full adventure in late winter which is normally a rather dull month for European photography tours. So come and try this new tour! Unfortunately due to special targets this tour can only be run once a year! You can read more about Late Winter in Transylvania Photograph Tour HERE.

Lynx observation in September 2024

/

Seeing a wild Eurasian Lynx in daytime is dream for mammalwatchers! Most of us just dream about such an encounter and it never happens but sometimes dreams come true for some! We were lucky to encounter a Lynx on a fresh kill in September 2024. Our guide Szabolcs Kovács has been exploring the Hargita Mountains with clients when they spotted a fresh Roe Deer carcas. Szabolcs realized it was freshly killed by a Lynx, you need to know what you see! As an experiment we positioned a mobile hide in a safe distance and waited if the Lynx would come back. And not only she did come back but brought along her two Lynx cubs. They had been visiting the carcas several times in the next 46 hours. The Roe Deer was finished in less then two days. They were mostly visiting in the early hours of the day and also in the afternoon. Those 2 days were very special and we are happy that most of our team who is involved with our mammal tours or Lynx tours managed to see this beautiful animal. Even some very lucky clients could enjoy it. Thanks for all to make it happen but especially for Szabolcs!

We regularly encounter wild Eurasian Lynx on our early spring Eurasian Lynx Tour but especially the Lynx Photography Tours led by our expert Lynx tracker Ferenc Alpár Gothárd. It is not something we can guarantee but every time we definitely try hard to find one!
