Black-winged Stilt at Macin Mountain National Park

Macin Mountain National Park's setting in southeastern Romania's Dobrogea region, close to the Danube River and within reach of the Danube Delta's extensive wetlands, brings Black-winged Stilts within range of photographers visiting in May. Those joining the Birds of the Danube Delta holiday can take advantage of this proximity, pairing time in one of Europe's oldest mountain landscapes with opportunities to encounter this striking, long-legged wader nearby. The combination of ancient upland terrain and adjacent wetland habitat makes the area a worthwhile stop for building a varied portfolio of Danube wildlife. Patience and an eye on the surrounding water margins should reward visitors with sightings of this elegant species.
