Here’s what’s running. [![One Of Bandhavgarhs Beautiful Bengal Tigers In The Cooling Water Of A Pool Photographed During The Natureslens Tigers Of Bandhavgarh Photography Holiday](https://natureslens.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/one-of-bandhavgarhs-beautiful-bengal-tigers-in-the-cooling-water-of-a-pool-photographed-during-the-natureslens-tigers-of-bandhavgarh-photography-holiday.jpg)](https://natureslens.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/one-of-bandhavgarhs-beautiful-bengal-tigers-in-the-cooling-water-of-a-pool-photographed-during-the-natureslens-tigers-of-bandhavgarh-photography-holiday.jpg) ## Why does our tiger season start in March? [Majestic Bengal Tigers of India](https://natureslens.co.uk/2018/06/26/tigers-of-india-2/) starts our tiger season, & March is when rising heat pushes [Bengal tigers](https://natureslens.co.uk/photograph/bengal-tiger/) towards waterholes more predictably, genuinely useful for a photographer rather than left to chance. [Wildlife of Kaziranga National Park](https://natureslens.co.uk/photography-holiday/india/wildlife-of-kaziranga/) runs a little later in the season & adds [Asian elephants](https://natureslens.co.uk/photograph/asian-elephant/) & [bar-headed geese](https://natureslens.co.uk/photograph/bar-headed-goose/) to the mix. ### Photograph tigers with structure, not luck Vehicles positioned for photography rather than viewing, & enough time for a composition to develop before the moment passes.

[Northern Sweden’s Eagles in Winter](https://natureslens.co.uk/2023/03/14/northern-swedens-eagles/) still holds proper snow cover this late in the season, with [golden eagles](https://natureslens.co.uk/photograph/golden-eagle/) working the forest edge alongside [Bohemian waxwings](https://natureslens.co.uk/photograph/bohemian-waxwing/) & redpolls at feeding stations built specifically for photography. [![A Golden Eagle Fox Photographed During A Natureslens Photography Holiday To Photograph Northern Sweden Eagles In Winter](https://natureslens.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/a-golden-eagle-fox-photographed-during-a-natureslens-photography-holiday-to-photograph-northern-sweden-eagles-in-winter-1024x683.jpg)](https://natureslens.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/a-golden-eagle-fox-photographed-during-a-natureslens-photography-holiday-to-photograph-northern-sweden-eagles-in-winter-1024x683.jpg) ## Why is March a good month for Canada’s northern wildlife? [Wolves, Lynx & Winter Wildlife of Canada](https://natureslens.co.uk/photography-holiday/canada/winter-wildlife-of-canada-2027/) is timed for the tail end of proper winter conditions, when [Canada lynx](https://natureslens.co.uk/photograph/canada-lynx/), [boreal owls](https://natureslens.co.uk/photograph/boreal-owl/) & [fisher](https://natureslens.co.uk/photograph/fisher/) are all still working their winter ranges before the thaw changes their behaviour.

No, both Sweden & Canada are chosen specifically for holding reliable snow this late in the season, which is exactly why we schedule them for March rather than earlier. Conditions are checked every year before departure dates are confirmed. ## Which of these March trips should you choose? Choose India if a tiger is the priority, structured vehicle-based photography with waterhole behaviour becoming more predictable as the month goes on. Choose Sweden for [golden eagles](https://natureslens.co.uk/photograph/golden-eagle/) & winter finches in genuinely reliable snow. Choose Canada for lynx, [wolves](https://natureslens.co.uk/photograph/wolf/) & [boreal owls](https://natureslens.co.uk/photograph/boreal-owl/) at the tail end of true winter conditions. An apex predator in [India](https://natureslens.co.uk/discover/asia/india/), a boreal specialist in [Sweden](https://natureslens.co.uk/discover/europe/sweden/), & a northern forest in [Canada](https://natureslens.co.uk/discover/north-america/canada/), three completely different photographic disciplines sharing the same month.
