Montág-puszta

We were pretty lucky, when we visited the site of Montág-puszta as a we could spot a flying flock of cranes (Grus grus). It took me by surprise as cranes are abundant during winter time, not now. Nevertheless this area is famous of its resident crane population too. The site lies next to the road so it was possible to locate it without any problem.


Restricted site for visitors. 


Cranes were loud and easy to recognize.



Nesting box to populate the site with different species.


Other than bird.


This observation tower is next to the road, where we could look around quite well. 


We hired a little house in Tótkomlós, right in the middle of two Ramsar sites, and visited the two sites in two consecutive days. Meanwhile we looked around in Tótkomlós as well and during of our afternoon walk, we spotted a dirty pavement...


It turned out that the tree was a nesting site for long-eared owl (Asio otus).
