Today we were lucky enough to find the second (if accepted) record of Pacific Golden Plover for Hungary. This adult bird was seen at Nagy-Vókonya wetland in the Hortobágy. Other highlights of this magnificent day were 22 Lesser White-fronted Goose, 8 White-tailed Eagle, 4 Imperial Eagles, Bar-tailed Godwit, many Red-throated Pipits and a wonderful roost-flight of Cranes (20 000).

Yesterday´s Crane count on the Hortobágy was 48,000 individuals at 4 main roosting areas.
