Message: <blockquote data-quote="wolfbirder" data-source="post: 3412295" data-attributes="member: 28091">I specialise in 24 hour weekend breaks, away from the family. Time is critical, but I cannot stand overnight or long flights.I have enjoyed 24 hour trips to Tenerife, southern Turkey (flights to Antalya), Holland, and Finland to do the Oulu owls and also last years Helsinki Azure Tit (it might have been a 2nd generation hybrid though), but in the main I do a 4 day break each year. I have done Cyprus in late March 3 times, South-eastern Turkey to Birecik (probably a bit dodgy right now), Lanzarote, different parts of Spain and Portugal, and both Poland and Hungary.I actually enjoyed Hungary greatly, birding is available close to Budapest Airport. And now Israel, you can fly with Monarch to Ovda (50 miles outside Eilat) for £170 return. I admit some of these places would be tough for a weekend trip, ask your wife for a four day permit?</blockquote>
