During the last week of April we had a memorable three days in the Translylvanian mountains. The main aim of this trip was to take photos of Brown Bears. In two evenings we saw and photograhed no less than five bears – some big males and some smaller youngsters as well. Some of them were only a few dozen meters away, which was an unforgetable experience.

Beside the bears there were a lot of birds to watch, such as Lesser Spotted and Golden Eagles, Marsh Sandpipers, Thrush Nightingale, Rock Bunting and a beautiful pair of Rufous-tailed Rock Thrushes.
