....Trip
Report: Slovenia, 4th-11th June 2003, by Simon Mahood. Lying
at
the junction between Eastern and Western Europe, abutting the Alps and
over 50% forested, Slovenia has been strangely ignored by travelling birders.
Myself (Simon Mahood) and Dan Brown took a week long trip to the country
on a tight budget. We connected with some of Europe's toughest breeding
species and experienced a wealth of nature and some of the best scenery
I have seen in Europe.
