Trip report
In late October 2025 I did a little recce for tour planned to run in Bieszczady Mountains (SE Poland) next year. It was amazing time in colourful scenery in one of the wildest part of Europe. A definite highlight was afternoon on the last day when I had Brown Bears, Lynx & Wolf during 2 hours! The trip was planned (& will be planned) to focus mainly on mammals, but during the search I also bumped into Ural Owls in several spots.
Have a look on the pictures I made during the recconaissance – each one has a description while enlarged.
