Our story

Located in the picturesque Vrsac Mountains, Balkan Bird Bokeh is a family-owned enterprise that was founded out of a passion for photography, birds, and the beauty of nature. We have been discovering the best locations to see and take pictures of the Balkans’ amazing birds for more than 20 years.

A family-run company, Balkan Bird Bokeh was founded out of a profound passion for photography, birds, and the natural world. This family enterprise is tucked away in the stunning surroundings of the tranquil Vrsac Mountains. We have been discovering the best locations to see and take pictures of the Balkans’ amazing birds for more than 20 years.

Here, taking pictures of birds is a shared experience rather than simply a hobby. Our group expeditions and guided tours are ideal for meeting people who share your passion for photography and nature. Our adventures are as much about the people you meet as they are about the birds you photograph, whether you are exchanging advice, stories, or creating lasting connections.

Sharing the wonders of this area with bird photographers, nature lovers, and wildlife professionals worldwide has evolved from a personal passion for creating hides and photographing birds in their natural splendor.

Why the Balkans? Why Vrsac?

A fascinating experience for photographers and environment lovers, the Balkans offer a real treasure trove of birds and cultural diversity. This area is home to more than 200 bird species, including migratory ducks, bee-eaters, hoopoes, and some of Europe’s most sought-after raptors. It is the perfect place to see amazing migratory spectacles because of its location along the Adriatic Flyway, a vital migration corridor. Opportunities to see various species are guaranteed throughout the year due to an amazing diversity of habitats, which range from deep forests to wetlands and rolling hills. Particularly, the Vrsac Mountains provide a tranquil getaway into the outdoors. They are the ideal background for bird photography and are well-known for their beauty and biodiversity. 

Vrsac has a lot to offer beyond its natural wonders. Its location on the 45th parallel places it in the same latitude as well-known wine regions like Bordeaux and Tuscany, which has led to the development of a thriving wine culture. Award-winning wines from local wineries enhance the adventure. You can stroll through the town’s Austro-Hungarian architecture, soak in its cultural charm, and enjoy a glass of wine to round out your day of birdwatching.
