6. Kiskunsági-Nationalpark

Booked a bird watching tour with Hungarianbirdwatching. My guide Gábor picked me up early in the morning at the Synagogue, where we left to the Kiskunsági-Nationalpark, +-1 hour away from Budapest.
This nationalpark is part of the Hungarian puszta and contains ponds, wetlands, treeless plains and steppes.
We observed over 60 different birds: Some species could be observed up close (Roller, Red-footed falcon), others were unfortunately only visible from a greater distance (Great Bustard). We saw even 3 different eagle species.

As it was outside the observation season and the Great Bustard was far away from us, I have to return some day during the breeding season!
We returned in the afternoon to Budapest.

After a pizza, I did a sightseeing boat tour on the Danube to see Budapest and its buildings by night.Read more
