Marsh Harrier at Macin Mountain National Park

Marsh Harriers can be watched over the ancient slopes of Macin Mountain National Park, where southeastern Romania's Dobrogea region meets the Danube River and lies within easy reach of the Danube Delta's wetlands. This proximity to such rich wetland habitat makes the park a rewarding stop for photographers hoping to catch these birds on the wing against a backdrop of one of Europe's oldest mountain ranges. May is the month to visit, when light and timing favour good sightings. Photographers joining the Birds of the Danube Delta holiday will have the chance to include this location in their pursuit of Marsh Harrier images.
