Today we had 14 different White-tailed Eagles in front of ´eagle hide II´ – a record number! The previous highest count was 12 at one time. The Hortobágy National Park now begins to stir from its long winter ‘sleep’ and more and more eagles arrive daily, following the hordes of grey geese returning to these vast pannonian lowlands. Eagle activity is likely to be very good during the coming weeks. A slight concern is the rapid thawing of a substantial snowfall, which might cause a few places to become inaccassible.
