Lake Balaton and surrounding area, Hungary
Lake Balaton is a long and thin lake running east west, close to the west edge of Hungary. The area around this lake is surprisingly wild.
There is a wide range of birds, including bee-eaters and various herons and egrets including a black stork, but perhaps more exciting, European wild cats live in the area around the lake. There is also a healthy population of Otters
