Europe Wildlife Photography
Europe offers NaturesLens photographers an extraordinary spread of habitats and species, from the sun-baked plains of Extremadura to the icy fjords of Arctic Varanger. Raptors are a particular highlight of the continent, with White-tailed Eagle, Golden Eagle, Lesser Kestrel and Black Kite all featuring across various trips, alongside wetland specialists like the Dalmatian Pelican, Pygmy Cormorant and Great Bittern. Add in mammals such as the Iberian Lynx, Red Fox and Eurasian Otter, and it's clear why Europe remains one of NaturesLens' most popular photography destinations.

Further east, NaturesLens explores Hortobayosz National Park and Pusztaszer in Hungary for Eagles of the Hortobágy and Hungarian Winter Wildlife, often making use of Bence Máté's hides, while Białowieża Forest and Arctic Varanger round out the calendar with winter wildlife photography opportunities between December and March.
