The second ever Pine Bunting (Emberiza leucocephalos) for Hungary was found on the 24th of February near Lake Balaton again by Szabolcs Gál!This is the first ever twitchable following the trapped bird in 1986.

His amazing row of findings continous in 2009 after finding the first Rustic Bunting and Purple Sandpiper at the end of 2008.

The Rustic Bunting was very close to the location of this Pine Bunting.

It looks like a first winter male bird and on behalf of all hungarian birders I would like to say thank you to Szabolcs!
