Long-legged buzzard and Terrapins

Today we saw a a Long-legged buzzard and a Bittern on our ricefield. Some European Pond Terrapins already enjoyed the sunshine by the canals.

Today we saw our first Swallow in Túrkeve. On the ricefields we saw a Black kite and a Short eared owl as well. Ádám saw a Barn owl in his garden

The storks are back

In this week we saw the first storks in our area. We observed a few Black Storks on a mudy fishpond when they was looking for some nice Hungarian dish :D . Our first White Stork in this year is very busy, because he didn't wast the time and he started to put the nest to rights.

The day was very windy and cold. It wasn't the perfect day to birdwatch.

Waxwings and eagles

Today was probably the first nice sunny spring day in this year. The weather was perfect to do some gardening in our yard. When the birds sing, the work is going much better, so today work was very easy: tits, blacbirds, gold and greenfinches were singing. Suddenly we heard an interesting sound: they were Waxwings! We observed 18 birds on the top of our oak tree. Later we went to see our ricefields. We saw a few Hen Harriers, Buzzards and Common Cranes. The best two birds came just later: a Golden and an Imperial Eagle! These birds had made our day.
