Tata Wild Goose Festival

We attended the Wild Goose Festival at Tata in Hungary at the weekend. It was a great event, very well organised, there was something for everyone, and it was great fun. Several 1000 people visited, from keen birders, to nature-lovers, to the curious general public. There were lots of children, too, and many of them seemed to particularly like the birding ringing session. This Great Spotted Woodpecker was very popular!

New Header and Logo!

Hi Everybody... I hope you like the new Probirder header and logo, as above. 

Yet another trip done!

How many is that now? I have been guiding birding and wildlife tours in Hungary and the rest of Central and Eastern Europe for 30 years, and I tried to count up how many I have done. It is well over 500! But don't be misled by this photo, I am NOT on my knees just yet!
