Otter at Bence Máté’s hides

Bence Máté's hides, set within southern Hungary's Pannonian Basin, offer a rare vantage point over a landscape where fishponds meet riparian woodland and scrubby steppe, creating ideal conditions for encountering otters along the water's edge. These purpose-built hides allow photographers to work unobtrusively close to the water, making the most of the mosaic of wetland and farmland habitats that define the region. Visiting in June, guests on the Wildlife Photography Hides of Hungary holiday can settle into these carefully positioned sites and wait patiently for otters to reveal themselves along the fishpond margins. It's a rewarding opportunity for anyone hoping to capture this elusive species against the distinctive wetland scenery of the Pannonian Basin.
