I am juggling calendar & budget looking at options for a spring trip and Macedonia, perhaps crossing a border or two, April 20-24, looks like a good bet.
I do have a couple of questions in advance, though (If I decide to go, I'll have plenty more...), hope someone will be helpful.
First, ursinii would be among my main targets but - given the altitude - might I be a little early in the season for them? Also, compared to other ursinii populations I've found rather few reports from Macedonia. Is the population struggling more than others?
Second, the island, of course I'd want to go but I've read reports / heard rumours snake numbers have collapsed in the last 5-6 years. Anyone know anything about this?
Thanks in advance for any replies
