Limosa Danube Delta & Black Sea Coast 2012 Spring Tour
In the second week of May we had a successful and memorable birding trip again with our partner company Limosa Holidays. During this very enjoyable 9 day holiday we observed masses of birds, among them such highlights as Saker Falcon, Eastern Imperial Eagle, Levant Sparrowhawk while hunting/eating lizard, close Booted Eagle, Honey Buzzards, 6 Pallas`s Gulls, colony of Whiskered Terns with Black-necked Grebes, hundreds of White Pelicans, tame Dalmatian Pelicans, Little Bitterns etc.
The detailed trip report with more pictures will be available soon in our Danube Delta blog and on the Limosa Holidays website too.

Liberty Bird spring tour 2012
We spent a successful 9 days with our Swiss group visiting the Zemplén Hills, the Érc Mountains in Slovakia and the Hortobágy. Despite we had two rainy and a windy days we saw an impressive range of species, including Pigmy, Ural and Eagle Owls, very good views of Lesser Spotted, Golden and Eastern Imperial Eagles (latter was seen six times during the trip), Saker Falcon, displaying Great Bustards and even a Great Snipe. We also managed to see 9 species of woodpeckers – the rare White-backed was seen not less then three times!
