Mark has just returned from the most incredible week in Hungary, photographing otters, bitterns, kingfishers, hawfinches and all sorts of other wildlife. We’ve attached a few sample images. We’re now planning another week, in May, to photograph an even wider range of species - including goshawks, little owls, turtle doves, ground squirrels, otters and much more. In this fun and jam-packed week, we’ll have unlimited and exclusive use of no fewer than 27 superb and comfortable hides designed and built by Mark’s good friend, multi-award-winning photographer Bence Mate. Suitable for complete beginners and professionals alike.
