Bearded Reedling at Macin Mountain National Park

Tucked into the ancient, weathered landscape of Macin Mountain National Park in southeastern Romania's Dobrogea region, this reserve sits close to the Danube River and within reach of the vast Danube Delta wetlands, making it a rewarding spot to seek out the Bearded Reedling. Visiting in May offers the best chance of an encounter, with good light and favourable conditions for photography during this period. Those joining the Birds of the Danube Delta holiday will find this location included in the itinerary, offering a chance to photograph this species against the backdrop of one of Europe's oldest mountain ranges. Patience and a keen eye will serve photographers well when working this terrain.
