Birding in Hungary I
17 July 2026
Aberdeen Airport ABZ
Today, we arrived at Aberdeen Airport, before our flight to Budapest, via Amsterdam.
Amsterdam Schiphol Airport AMS
During our layover, I spent a bit of time birding, spotting mainly a few Herring Gulls, and some Carrion Crows.
Once having arrived in Budapest, and had dinner at our aunt and uncle's place, we went to Budapest City Park (Városliget), for a bit of birding. We heard some Green Woodpeckers, and found a Great Spotted Woodpecker nest, but other than that and a few Little Grebes feeding chicks, it was quite quiet, birdwise anyway, since a huge disco was probably keeping the birds from being very vocal.
