Wildlife Tours in Europe

Wildlife holidays in Europe benefit from its temperate climate and position on major global flyways and migration routes. These physical characteristics lead to interesting birding opportunities and exciting mammal and marine encounters. This is especially true in areas where reintroduction programmes are taking place.

In the United Kingdom birders have welcomed the return of Ospreys, Red Kites and White-tailed Eagles. All of these are making a comeback, along with Red Squirrels and Eurasian Beavers.

Iberian and Eurasian Lynx are being reintroduced in countries such as Spain, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Italy and France. Bearded Vultures have been returned to the French Alps, and Black Vultures to Bulgaria.

Wildlife holidays in Europe can take in some of nature’s great spectacles, apart from reintroductions. The seasonal bird migration from Africa to Europe through southern Spain and Portugal, for instance. Or the vast gatherings of Common Cranes on the Hortobágy steppes in Hungary. Millions of waders gather to feed in the Danube Delta and Greater Flamingos flock in Spain’s Doñana National Park and the Camargue in France.

Why not consider going to see the drama of Red Deer rutting in France or Scotland? Or enjoying the wonder of wild Brown Bears in Romania’s Carpathian mountains, or wolves in Abruzzo in Italy?

To help narrow the choice, make use of the expertise of the local Blue Sky Wildlife operators. These are wildlife guides who really know their areas.
