    ....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.
