Eurasian Otter at Macin Mountain National Park

Macin Mountain National Park's proximity to the Danube River, and its closeness to the vast wetlands of the Danube Delta, makes it a promising area to look for the Eurasian Otter against the backdrop of one of Europe's oldest mountain ranges. Photographers joining the Birds of the Danube Delta holiday, typically run in May, are well placed to combine this ancient landscape with the chance of an otter sighting nearby. Patience is key, as ever with this species, but the setting alone rewards those who bring a long lens and a steady tripod. Macin's blend of rugged terrain and waterside habitat gives this trip a distinct character among Romania's wildlife locations.
