Winter season behind – 2021 Spring ahead
Spring is here, however freezing cold mornings suggests the opposite, the migrant birds are coming back. We already have bigger numbers of Northern Lapwings and some European Golden Plovers while the winter staging Fieldfares are still found around in flocks.
The arrival of Spring also means we finished the Eagle photography season. This winter was productive as usual at our hides, with some very special avian guests in front of our hides.
For a brief summary of the Winter hide photography check our Hortobágy Bird Photography blog.

Our team in Transylvania was also active. Snow situation is always more serious there compared to the one in the Hortobágy region, this year it was not as strong as usual. Probably that was the reason for a higher activity of bears in snowy conditions giving some superb opportunities to photograph them.
