With friends from the Bedfordshire Natural History Society we spent a week in Slovenia and Croatia on a trip organised by Ecotours Wildlife Holidays in June 2016. We visited a range of habitats from mountain meadows to wetlands and sites visited in Slovenia included Mt. Mangart in the Julian Alps, Lake Cerknica and Lake Bohinj in Triglav National Park, whilst in Croatia we visited Plitvice Lakes and Paklenica National Parks.
