Highlights

Summary

Summary

Montenegro is a fantastic little country, rich in history and with stunning scenery. From beaches, sand dunes and saltpans along its coast to the dramatic interior mountains there is a wide range of habitat for wildlife, providing vital stopover points for many migrating birds. Timed to coincide with the spring migration, this tour will focus primarily on birds, although there will also be plenty of amphibians, reptiles, plants and insects to be found. We will explore the area around the beautiful Lake Skadar, nestled between the mountains on the Montenegro/Albania border. Basing ourselves just outside the historic village of Virpazar with easy access to the lake, we will be looking for waders, gulls and other waterbirds, including Whiskered Terns, Little Egrets, Squacco Herons and the rare Dalmatian Pelican. During our stay here we will also journey to the Adriatic coast as we search for Curlew Sandpiper, Black-necked Grebe, Cirl Bunting and Eurasian Hoopoe. We’ll discover delightful villages, stunning landscapes and varied wildlife as we explore this less visited corner of Europe.

  • Dalmatian Pelicans & Pygmy Cormorants on Lake Skadar
  • Spring migrants including Bee-eater, Hoopoe, Yellow Wagtail & Woodchat Shrike
  • Waders, such as Wood Sandpiper & Kentish Plover
  • Stunning scenery
  • Reptiles and amphibians possible
  • Enjoy Montenegrin hospitality
