Early spring activity around our hides
Despite the weather getting warmer, after an unusually long winter, activity is still excellent around our eagle hides, with basically the same range of species, as on a milder winter´s day. White-tailed Eagles still visit regularly, though in smaller number and maybe for a shorter time, like in winter.

It is very exciting to watch and photograph the always fighting gulls, with predominantly Caspians. Though Yellow-legged Gulls also mix with them, while recently an intermedius/graellsii type Lesser Black-backed was also photographed – a scarce visitor to Hungary.

In early spring, Greylags occupy their nesting gound and, during the day they may visit the hide´s surrounding to graze the fresh green grass or to drink from the little pools which have remained after the heavy rains of the autumn.
