The annual Crane week (17-24 October) for Limosa Holidays was once again a great event with many birds seen. Check out their full itinerary here: http://www.limosaholidays.co.uk/. The tour started in the Zemplén Hills with Ural Owl, White-backed Woodpecker, a fine Alpine Accentor and Rock Bunting. All the usual goodies were seen on the Hortobágy (Lesser White-fronted Goose, Great Bustard, Saker etc.) plus some unexpected bonus like a Dalmatian Pelican.

The tour also coincided with the zenith of the cranes which was 101,500 (a new record for Hortobágy!) this autumn so surely there were enough birds around to see….
