New for 2013: Macedonia

We're currently hard at work on finalising the details for our 2013 holiday programme. Full details of the trips are being uploaded to the website as and when they are finished, and we'll soon be sending out a newsletter-cum-brochure to tempt you with.

One new destination that I am particularly excited about is Macedonia (or, if we're going to be correct, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia). On paper it already sounds like a great place to visit: limestone mountains; extensive grazing still the norm; the world's largest breeding colony of Dalmatian Pelicans; Rock Partridge, Saker and Eastern Imperial Eagle all expected; Masked Shrike, Olive-tree Warbler; an amazing diversity of butterlies...

If I wasn't already sold on the idea, then the photos that Martin (our guide for this trip, as well as our recent holiday to the White Carpathians) sent through sealed the deal. It's worth a visit for the poppy fields alone! See you there!!
