We now have uploaded our images of nature taken during a research trip to Finland in September to our Facebook page. Next year we are planning to run some wildlife holidays to this area of northeastern Finland where bears and wolves can be found on the Russian border. The wildlife watching takes place from comfortable hides in wilderness locations. For more information on a European wildlife holiday do contact us.

Just arrived in the Bieszczady mountains in the far corner of southeast Poland and its snowing steadily for the first time here this winter. Out searching for wolves, bears, beavers, bison and birds for the next few days and snow will help with tracking… perhaps an ideal time to be here, but then there are terrific mammals and birds here year round with the added bonus of butterflies and flowers in the warmer months.

Zlotys! Yes, despite the value of the British pound against the Euro and the US Dollar it is remarkably strong against the Polish Zloty which consequently means that our wildlife holidays in Poland are of great value at present. With Spring and Summer coming this is an excellent time to discover Poland. Over 80% of European bird species have been recorded here and from April many return to the Polish landscape to breed after their winter migration. But bird watching in Poland is not the only reason to visit. During the early summer there is a tremendous diversity of butterflies and dragonflies; whilst for those interested in flora a stunning array of orchids will be in bloom. You can also discover little known mammalian species, not found in the UK, such as the rare garden dormouse and spotted sousliks, a ground squirrel of the steppe grasslands. Larger mammals you may see on our wildlife holidays in Poland include wolf, bear, bison, elk, otters and beavers. Ideally, your trip should usually last from 1 to 2 weeks and it will be accompanied by our superb professional guides.
