2019 spring and summer photo selection from the Hortobágy

The photography spring and summer season was successfull again. Our guest had the chance to try themselves shooting some really exciting actions at our hides.

Our Red-footed Falcon tower hide now has a pair which also gives the opportunity to photograph this magnificent raptor but with a different setup and different individuals.

The Rollers were active in the breeding season and our hides were both available both for morning and afternoon lights.

We set up a new hide just beside the Pygmy Cormorant hide, where Little Crake and Water Rail were taking the show away but songbirds of the reeds were common visitors every day as well.

Please scroll down and enjoy a selection of images taken in our hides in the early summer by Inge Duijsens – one of our guests and some of Attila Szilágyi.
