May is easily one of our most varied months, deserts, wetlands & macro all running side by side. Here’s what’s on.
Why is May a good month for Morocco’s desert wildlife?
Fennec Foxes & other Moroccan Wildlife takes you into the dunes for one of the most charismatic small mammals we photograph anywhere, the fennec fox, alongside desert specialists most photographers never get close to. Night sessions in cooling dune air are when the foxes are most active.
Get close to one of the desert’s most photogenic mammals
Fennec Foxes & other Moroccan Wildlife is built around low-light dune sessions with a species most photographers only ever see in a zoo.

Why is Bulgaria worth visiting for reptiles & amphibians in May?
Reptiles & Amphibians in Bulgaria is a proper macro trip built around Aesculapian snakes, blotched snakes & Dahl’s whip snakes, all found in genuinely wild habitat most macro photographers never think to visit for reptiles.
Why do the Danube Delta & Lake Kerkini look so different in May compared to winter?
Birds of the Danube Delta & Spring Birds of Lake Kerkini both give you an entirely different, warmer-season version of wetland bird photography, Squacco herons, black terns & black-winged stilts replacing the winter’s pelicans & cranes.
Should I choose winter Kerkini or spring Kerkini?
They’re genuinely different trips rather than one being better. Winter Kerkini is about mist, pelicans & dramatic low light, while Spring Birds of Lake Kerkini trades that for warmer light, breeding activity & a completely different species list. Photographers building a complete Kerkini portfolio often do both across different years.
Which of these May trips should you choose?
Choose Morocco for one of the most photogenic small mammals anywhere, photographed at night in genuine desert. Choose Bulgaria if reptile & amphibian macro is your discipline. Choose the Danube Delta or Kerkini in spring for warm-season wetland bird photography.
Desert, wetland & macro, three completely different photographic disciplines, all timed for this exact point in the year.
