Birding in Hungary VII
23 July 2026
Today, we went cycling with our grandpa, down to the village of Szabadkígyós. We saw a few Buzzards and Marsh Harriers on the way, as well as loads of what might be the most common bird in the area: Red-backed Shirke. Our first stop was the Wenckheim-kastély, where we saw a Song Thrush fledgeling, and a family of Spotted Flycatchers.
We then climbed up one of the towers to see the view from the top. To the top of the castle, there were between 170 and 190 steps (both my sisters and I got completely different numbers!). We then saw a few Black Redstarts and a very tame Woodpigeon.
We then quickly stopped at the nearby grassland, where we were looking for Roller. We soon found a male Roller perched, as it was 2 years ago, on one of the hay bales. We then had to head home, since it starting raining.
