This city is well known amongs birders in Budapest and nearby. Lots of people gained experience in ringing in this station (http://omve.hu/beforeafter.html). It is possible to even volunteer there and it is not that difficult to get there. I took a train and came home by bus. The ringing station is outsite of the city, circa 15minutes on foot.
This is the road, which takes us to the ringing station. It's possible to stay in the house of the ringing station and help out if needed. Every saturday there is ringing activity even in winter time and other season the station works as normal. When birds nest, the ringing activity is lower not to disturb the birds too much.
The ramsar site is marshy area, and there are several traits where nature lovers can wonder into the wild, however it is only possible to enter it with a guide as far as I know. Around the nets and the ringing station it is only possible to stay under regulation.
Me and my little one.
The habitat can be suitable for many species. I only noted 3 species while I was out as it was almost dark and did not have the time to wonder out.
- Eurasian Jay - Garrulus glandarius (I spoted it after its call, however I could not identify what species did he mimic)
- Common Magpie - Pica pica (I loved them on the trees, there were like pearls sitting in a jewellery box)
- Tree Sparrow - Passer montanus
Many years ago, the area was a huge wild land so called: "turján vidék" but it was regulated and lost quite a bit of its original size and beuty. Now under strickt protection it became well known for nature specialist and the attention made its effect.
As far as I know Black Woodpecker leaves a different mark on the trees but so it can still be at least 3 other species but someone who knows woodpecker mark or the local woodpecker fauna at the area could tell for sure.
