Collared Pratincole at Macin Mountain National Park

Macin Mountain National Park, tucked into the ancient hills of Dobrogea in southeastern Romania, offers a rewarding setting for photographing the Collared Pratincole against the backdrop of one of Europe's oldest mountain ranges. Its proximity to the Danube River and the wetlands of the Danube Delta beyond makes this a natural stop for the species, and for photographers tracking it through the wider region. Visit in May, when conditions here are at their most favourable. Those joining the Birds of the Danube Delta holiday will find Macin Mountain National Park a worthwhile addition to their itinerary.
