    Many thanks. I definitely want to return in spring, especially to Little Hortobagy and Bukk Hills (for the Woody's).

    Roy Adams from Hungarian Bird Tours says there are now 200 pairs (increasing) of WB Woody in the Bukk Hills, & March is the time to find them! So tempted to return then.

    I did'nt come across any birders at all during my 4 days, but most visit in May. I am glad my 'paultry' attempts at photography brought back some decent memories for you - thank you Brian.

    Hi Brian I think I may stay at Farm Lator if I return next spring. as I think they have Grey-Headed Woodpecker often within their hotel grounds. They may also be able to advise where to see WB Woody. Farm Lator is not too far from where I stayed, probably more birders there too.

    Thanks for your comments, and your very welcome. Always try to give as much information as possible. Doesn't always make particularly riveting reading I accept.

    Final set, first three photos show outer areas of Hortobagy, taking turn off Road 33 towards Nagyivan. The last two show "Little Hortobagy" pools and marshes. 1) Shows the mud track with wide open pusta great for Crane's, RF Falcons, and apparently Great Bustards. 2) This is where the above...

    Hortobagy.............Halasto Fish Ponds landscape images............. 1) Looking back towards the visitor centre (if you can call it that!), shows the adjacent funicular railway that only runs at weekends but takes you to the furtherest pool around 10 kms away (maybe more). 2) The first Tower...

    Poroszlo Saker site..............reliable!! 1 and 2) These simply show the farm track you can park up at around km20 marker on Road 33, 5 kms west of Poroszlo. Still a reliable Saker site. 33 is a fast main road, care needs to be taken when turning off onto it. 3) Along the back roads, expect...

    Hor-Volgy (Beautiful Valley), just north of Cserepfalu, ten minutes from hotel.......great (apparently) for White-Backed Woodpecker.......... 1) The view of the valley as you leave the village of Cserepfalu. 2) Turn here for Hollosteto, then the track turns left and through the valley for...

    Hungary For More - short break 10-14th Sept 2013

    Pardon the pathetic title pun, but I have just returned from a very enjoyable short break to Hungary, flying from Manchester to Budapest via Ryan Air, picking up a hire car and driving east an hour to spend three full days in the Bukk Hills and Hortobagy area. That is probably not long enough...
