Birding holidays
Butterfly & Moth Holidays
Hungary and Central Europe boast an exceptional wealth of butterflies and moths. During a week dedicated to butterflies or moths it is not unusual to see 100 species of butterflies and several hundreds of moth species. Regularly seen specialities include Hungarian and Common Glider, Poplar Admiral, Pallas’s and Scarce Fritillary, Southern Festoon, Large Copper, Large and Zephyr Blue, Eastern Pale and Berger’s Clouded Yellow to name but a few. It is fairly usual to record above 100 species of macro moths during one night. The sites visited on our holidays also host interesting dragonflies, birds and other wildlife.
Our holidays are lead by local lepidopterists and moth specialists. We co-operate with national parks and always respect conservation regulations during our holidays.
