Hi. I am an occasional birder from South Africa. Travelling to Europe in May, will be spending most of my time in the Julyan Alps in Slovenia. Any advice with regards to a good reference book for the area? I do have the Merlin app and downloaded the birdpack already. I also have one free day -our base town is Radovljica. Any advice on good areas to bird or if there are any English speaking bird guides around I could hire for a couple of hours to take me around?

Hi Colleen and a warm welcome to you from all the Staff and Moderators. You could have a look in our Opus section for places in Slovenia to visit. While we do not have any particular articles on the country, there are many images in the Gallery which you might like to browse through for species and areas to go to. You can access the pictures at the bottom of this page: Category:Slovenia - BirdForum Opus

I'll leave others to advise you on a field guide for the area. Collins is the one usually recommended for Europe, but it might not be the best choice for you as it covers the whole of Europe and rare visitors as well. You may well get more help by posting in the Information Wanted forum, as it will be seen by more of our members/

I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I look forward to hearing your news.
