Lesser Spotted Eagles' weekend

On Saturday I went to help for my father to Jászapáti. Near Hevesvezekény we saw about 40-60 Red-footed Falcons which were hunting along the road. When we came back from Jászapáti I realised two buzzards and a eagle. Lesser-spotted Eagle!
On the next day I observed another one above Central of Kisújszállás!

White-Tailed Eagles

Today I went to visit the fishponds of Telekhalma. The weather was terrible: the wind was blowing and the rain hadn't stopped all day long. The list of the most interested species today: Ferruginous Duck, White-tailed Eagle, Green Sandpiper, Snipe, Whiskered Tern, Eurasian Penduline Tit.

Owls and birds of prey tour

We have a new tour: Owls and birds of prey. The tour is organised for everybody, who like to wait for a good picture half day long or who like to observe a long-eared owl near at hand (this owl is more interesting if it is in a roosting place, where other 100 owls are :)). In the harsh Hungarian winter we feed the raptors, so in this place we can take a few nice pictures: White-tailed Eagles, Imperial Eagle, Buzzards, Rough-legged Buzzards...

Red-footed Falcons' night

This evening Ákos and me went to check a roosting place of Red-footed Falcons. We hade counted more than one hundred Falcons until sunset. There were two Sakers and one Osprey as well.

Bee-eaters in the sky

This morning I saw a huge flock of Bee-eater in Kisújszállás. 72 birds were moving towards the south.

Cat-burglars at the Kisujszállás Fishponds

Today I meet with three cat-burglars at the Kisujszállás Fishponds, where I was observing the birds. The first was a White-tailed Eagle: the bird came and caught a carp (this fish was probably an ill). The other two were Ospreys. They caught the daily rations and they were just resting afterwards. Later I saw a Short-toed Eagle as well.

Huge flock of Ferruginous Duck

This afternoon we went to Telekhalma fishponds, where the bigest pond is drained. On the pond we observed a few interesting birds:

Great Black-headed Gull

Caspian Tern

Little Gull

Red Knot

Turnstone

Red-necked Phalarope and

380 Ferrunginous Ducks on the next pond
