Spring birding season underway

The spring birding season is looking good. Lots of guests to guide, and lots of birds around to show them ! 

Eastern Hungary

Checked out a few places in eastern Hungary at the weekend. Very successful with water and wetland birds abundant on the plains. In the hills found some White-backed Woodpeckers and Ural Owls and on route a few Eastern Imperial Eagles and Saker. Looks like it is going to be a birdy spring.

Here is a nice little video clip of a visit to Hungary last spring by Steve Menzie from Liverpool... enjoy!

Bare-legged Owl

The Bare-legged Owl Gymnoglaux lawrencii (also known as Cuban Screech Owl) is another endemic species of Cuba. Our excellent local guides knew sites for several individuals, including this one in a tree cavity.
