Otter at Bence Máté’s hides

Bence Máté's hides, set within southern Hungary's Pannonian Basin, offer a rare vantage point over a landscape where fishponds meet riparian woodland & scrubby steppe, creating ideal conditions for encountering otters along the water's edge. These purpose-built hides allow photographers to work unobtrusively close to the water, making the most of the mosaic of wetland & farmland habitats that define the region. Visiting in June, guests on the Wildlife Photography Hides of Hungary holiday can settle into these carefully positioned sites & wait patiently for otters to reveal themselves along the fishpond margins. It's a rewarding opportunity for anyone hoping to capture this elusive species against the distinctive wetland scenery of the Pannonian Basin.
