Limosa Hungary & Romania tour finished
Our two country classic tour, which was introduced by Sakertour in the early 1990´s was a great success again! We visited the famous Hortobágy National Park and Transylvania in a 9 days tour with our partner Limosa!
Temminck Stint
It was a keen party of birders and we worked hard to see as many special birds and moments as possible. We recorded 209 species in 9 days, which is a terrific total in Europe just over a week. There were many highlights but surely the fighting Wallcreepers were a great delight to all of us as it finished on the top of the ´Bird of the trip´ contest!
Red-throated Pipt in breeding plumage
Other memorable moments were displaying Three-toed Woodpeckers on the same dead treetop, thre Brown Bears in broad sunlight from a hide, all the possible warblers (17 species!) including River, Aquatic, Moustached and Icterine Warblers, superb male Red-breasted Flycatcher and many Collared Flycatchers, as many as 20 Red-throated Pipits, excellent views of Ural and Scops Owls, a fine male of the shy White-backed Woodpecker, many Temminck Stints and four summer plumaged Broad-billed Sandpipers were the icing on the cake. And this list could go on and on…but look out for the report on the Limosa website!
