We usually go on holiday in mid-June, having to wait until the schools close on June 10. This year it would have been different anyway as our daughter has exams and we would have had to go later in July or August, terrible months for birding, unless we travelled very far - Australia had come to mind. With Covid, the prospect of not being able to go anywhere is looming, even though we should be able to travel between regions as from June 3rd and it seems that some foreign travel will be allowed later on.
If it has to be a domestic holiday, we will presumably avoid the coast and head for the mountains, be it the Abruzzo NP with its wolves and bears or somewhere in the Alps.
But IF foreign travel should be permitted again, where to go, assuming that countries will accept the risk of tourists from countries with high rates if infection? Would early July be too late to go to Norway (i.e. Varangerfjord) or Iceland, two trips on our bucket list?
Or would it be better to wait until the start of the Autumn migration (school starts on September 15, so we have to be back by then) and go somewhere like Gibraltar?
Ideas? Do you have any plans yourselves?
