Three eagle species photogrpahed in a single day!
Our guest Richard Tyler managed to photograph three eagle species from our hide in a single day! This is certainly a record for us but I believe this is only possible in the Hortobágy NP in Europe!?If you know and other place please let us know!
He saw about 20 different White-tailed Eagles of all ages, a juvenile Eastern Imperial Eagle and a juvenile Golden Eagle. At one stage all three spceis was seen on a single tree together! This was certainly the highlight of 2015 regarding our egale photography!

Our hides are essentially for feeding the White-tailed Egales present in the Hortobágy National Park in winter. There are up 200 White-tailed Eagles wintering in this area and we regularly have Eastern Imperial Eagle too. In the last three winters they getting more and more regular in fornt of the hides as well. However the Golden Eagle is very rare and only been seen and photographed once beofre this special event (back in 2009).
