Embark on a photographic odyssey through the diverse landscapes of Croatia, Slovenia and Austria!  This tour begins on the starkly beautiful Pag Island, Croatia, searching for Rock Partridge against a lunar-like backdrop.  Journey to the dramatic canyons of Paklenica National Park, home to the elusive Western Rock Nuthatch and Sombre Tit before exploring the revitalized Škocjanski Zatok Nature Reserve, a haven for Little Terns and Melodious Warblers.  We’ll then venture into the Slovenian Karst, seeking out Short-toed Snake Eagle and Alpine Swift before enjoying the natural wonder of Lake Cerknica, a haven for Corn Crakes and White-tailed Eagles.

This region also offers prime habitat for Montagu's Harrier, Short-eared Owl, and the striking Syrian Woodpecker. Our tour will conclude at the renowned Neusiedler See-Seewinkel National Park, where we'll witness the spectacle of bird migration, with opportunities to photograph White-tailed and Eastern Imperial Eagles soaring amidst the Pannonian lakes.
