There is a second calendar year Oriental Turtle Dove of the ´meena´ form near Lake Fertő in Hungary. This is the second ever observation of the species in both Hungary and the Carpathian Basin. The last record was on the 18th December, 1985 and it was not twitchable!

This superb bird was found by Sándor Mogyorósi the 11th of January so our great thanks goes to him!
