Red-footed Falcon 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 Red-footed Falcons against a backdrop unlike anywhere else on the continent. Its position near the Danube River, within easy reach of the Danube Delta's wetlands, places it firmly on the route covered by our Birds of the Danube Delta holiday. May is the month to visit, when conditions here are at their best for capturing this species. Photographers joining the tour at this time can expect the ancient, weathered landscape of Macin to feature memorably alongside the falcons themselves.
