Clements. The idea was to keep my life and country lists in an continuously updated bird list in MS Excel utilizing its strong Pivot Table functions for statistics.
Here I share the basic file including all the birds of the world in a species level. In the next coming days I will upload the complete list with subspecies as well.

For those who would like to have the Pivot Table enabled bird list with auto count of your records I will share some tutorial how to manage it by yourself (adding countries, sites, trips etc). Please, keep your eye on my blog... Don't worry I have nothing to do with the higher page hits :)))

If you feel it was a huge job to complete this list in the current format, you are right. Please, contact me in case of considering some support for this work or future updates.

As local guys covered most of the part of the wetlands of our county I selected to have a look at the upper section of river Danube. The weather was somehow better than on the previous days with some sun. The incredibly large number of birds made this trip impressive./&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Ez a hétvége a &lt;a href="http://www.wetlands.org/"&gt;Wetlands International&lt;/a&gt; által koordinált télközépi vízimadárszámlálások hétvégéje volt Európa-szerte. Mivel a helyi madarászok a megyei vizes élőhelyeinket számolták le, ezért én a Duna felső szakaszát választottam. Az időjárás némileg jobb volt, mint a korábbi napokban. A madarak nagy száma lenyűgözővé tette ezt a napot.&lt;/span&gt;

A few minutes later a Black Woodpecker flew over the houses close to my home./&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Az íróasztalom mellett ülve az imént láttam egy kb 100-as fenyőrigó csapatot köztük 5 &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;csonttollúval&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;, melyet egy tojó karvaly követett.

Despite the ugly weather I decided to go out and visit a far birding spot along the river Danube east of my home. The site is just about 60 km away from my home city. My birding fellow was Peter Szeimann this time. We departed early enough to be able to find possible wintering and night roosting flock of wild geese. Despite the mass of the dirt around the edge of the ice we didn't see any flock. Only distant voices of Bean-Geese heard.

On the ice-free areas Eurasian Coot was the dominant species.

Species counted:
Great Crested Grebe/&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Búbos vöcsök&lt;/span&gt; 25
Little Grebe/Kis vöcsök 4
Northern Harrier/&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Kékes rétihéja&lt;/span&gt; 1 male

The weather circumstances was nice however a large part of the lake has been frozen by the low temperature. It was a moderate snowfall last night which painted the landscape white. The wildfowl concentrated to a small ice free area. The quantity was a bit less than we counted last week-end or my friend counted a few days before.

Besides the geese the biggest sensation was a presence of a single feeding &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Bar-tailed Godwit&lt;/span&gt; which is anyway an uncommon visitor in the migrating period. This time of the year it was a nice surprise to see a shorebird out of the 'shorebirds period'./&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Ma reggel ismét kimentünk az Öreg-tóra a gyermekeimmel. Az időjárási körülmények megfelelőek voltak bár a tó nagy része a napok óta tartó alacsony hőmérséklet miatt befagyott. Éjjel gyengén szállingózott a hó, mely ahhoz elég volt, hogy fehérre fesse a tájat. A vizimadarak egy kisebb jégmentes területre szorultak. A mennyiségek ennek megfelelően kissé visszaesetek az egy héttel ezelőtti, vagy a Musicz Laci által pár napja számoltakhoz képest.

A ludak mellett a mai nap legnagyobb szenzációja egy táplálkozó &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;kis goda&lt;/span&gt; jelenléte volt, mely amúgy is ritka vonuló a régióban. Az év ezen szakában tehát kellemes meglepetés volt partimadarat látni 'nem partimadaras' időszakban.
&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Some species listed/&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Néhány kiemelt faj&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;
Taiga Bean-Goose/&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Tajga vetési lúd&lt;/span&gt; 9000
Greylag Goose/&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Nyári lúd&lt;/span&gt; 30
Greater White-fronted Goose/&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Nagy lilik&lt;/span&gt; 8000
&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Barnacle Goose/&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Apácalúd&lt;/span&gt; 1&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Red-breasted Goose/&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Vörösnyakú lúd&lt;/span&gt; 2&lt;/span&gt;

I finally gave up looking through the window in every morning and picked up my children to see some nice birds nearby my home at the Öreg-tó (local name) or for foreigners better known as Old Lake.

For sure the weather was again too misty to be able to pick up anything from the crowd of wildgeese. The lake can be reached within some hundred meters from my house which is almost entirely surrounded by the town. It is a very important wintering site for wildfowl including thousands of goose and duck and gull species. This is a &lt;a href="http://www.ramsar.org/"&gt;Ramsar Site&lt;/a&gt; together with the Ferencmajor fishponds and other in-between areas.

The range of vision was limited but at least I could see some species on the ground and the water. There was about 22.000 geese with about equal share between &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Greater White-fronted Goose&lt;/span&gt; and the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Taiga Bean Goose&lt;/span&gt;. While scanning the geese under a very bad light conditions I finally spotted 2 &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Red-breasted Goose&lt;/span&gt;. Two days before a &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Brant&lt;/span&gt;, a &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Barnacle&lt;/span&gt; and 7 &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Red-breasted Geese&lt;/span&gt; was seen by my friend.

After leaving the lake we made a short trip to the Gerecse Mountains where we mainly enjoyed the scenic views with very nicely colored forests. The rusty dead leaves on the ground made the already grey forest beautiful. Almost no birds have been seen during the trip. Finally we found a nice flock of &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Fieldfares&lt;/span&gt; together with some other species feeding and bathing on the main road. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Yellowhammers&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Linnets&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Eurasian&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Tree-Sparrows&lt;/span&gt; were also seen. Surprisingly still about 20 &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;European Starlings&lt;/span&gt; was among them. The best species was a &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Redwing&lt;/span&gt; in this flock.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5593151404713220532-7094931044864855261?l=szimistyle.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://szimistyle.blogspot.com/feeds/7094931044864855261/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5593151404713220532&amp;postID=7094931044864855261' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5593151404713220532/posts/default/7094931044864855261'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5593151404713220532/posts/default/7094931044864855261'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://szimistyle.blogspot.com/2007/12/reg-t-tata-foggy-morning.html' title='Öreg-tó, Tata - foggy morning'/><author><name>Gyorgy Szimuly (SzimiStyle)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12912424396295414364</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5593151404713220532.post-4351978929503369464</id><published>2007-11-19T19:30:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-11-19T23:54:05.886+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rare bird alert'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Birding'/><title type='text'>Another New To Hungary - Upland Sandpiper Bartramia longicauda</title><content type='html'>What a fantastic week! Yesterday noontime we received another hot-line news about another MEGA species found in the Hortobágy region. An &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Upland Sandpiper&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Bartramia longicauda&lt;/span&gt; was identified on the puszta near Nagyiván, the southern part of the Hortobágy National Park. Today very early morning I traveled there together with some local birding friend of mine. We arrived in almost completely dark and walked to the scene. After having some decent lights we found the bird walking in the grassy areas. Later a Northern Harrier flushed it off but landed again just a few ten meters away. It was continuously feeding and allowed some very clear view. It was also visible flying over the rough road and landed on a ploughland. I could make only a few record shot which I share here.

Thanks to the finders for this superb shorebird!

This species became &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;120th&lt;/span&gt; shorebird species I have ever seen in the world.

The bird was was found by one of our keen birders while spending his time at work - at least I was told. When opened the window he heard a strange call coming from the brushes. Soon after the bird identified as an &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Yellow-browed Warbler&lt;/span&gt;. Later discussions with others resulted the correction of the ID and the news re-distributed again. Today I drove the area and with a couple of other bird-watchers we immediately found the bird right after sunrise. It was calling continuously and moving fast between the branches. Unfortunately the light conditions did not allow me to take any shot. Definitely a flash and a smaller lens is needed for the future.&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:100%;" &gt;

I visited the Ferencmajor fishponds and the adjacent corn wasteland this afternoon. The weather was mixed with heavy shower but sunshine as well. I found the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Brent Goose&lt;/span&gt; among a large goose flock icluding 1000 birds (mainly Greater White-fronted Goose, a few Taiga Bean-Goose and several Greylag Goose).

I had some nice view of the Brent Goose which is an adult bird. While it was hard to decide whether it belongs to the race &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;hrota&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt; I finally summed the features fitting for the race &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;bernicla&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;. I had the Collins Bird Guide with me which clearly describes the differences between adult &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;hrota&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;bernicla&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;. The carbon black breast wasn't so sharply separated from the dusky grey color of the belly but was not as dark as the field guide illustrates. The light flank seemed dirty white but was not extensive and restricted only to the flanks. The book shows the whitish part to be extended to the belly for &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;hrota&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;. Another feature could be the coloration of the vent. I tried to recognise its color but it always looked dark when the bird was walikng which is a feature for &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;bernicla&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;. However when the bird was flying I could see no dark area on the vent. Except the vent color the bird seemed to be the race &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;bernicla&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt; rather than the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;hrota&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;'.&lt;/span&gt; More closer look is needed to have the final statement. I had chance to take a few fuzzy shots as I had no light and I was too far away.

In the same flock I found a neck ringed Greylag Goose. The red plastic ring  contained the following characters: IX53.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_MIUMyTjDkZI/RzNKeFhhOBI/AAAAAAAAAKg/jzaTWzOy2nI/s1600-h/Brant_11.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_MIUMyTjDkZI/RzNKeFhhOBI/AAAAAAAAAKg/jzaTWzOy2nI/s400/Brant_11.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5130526281244424210" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Tegnap reggel végül nem volt lehetőségem kimenni a Ferencmajorba, hogy jobban szemügyre vegyem az örvös ludat. Ma délután a Ferencmajorben és a tó mögötti kukorica-tarlón néztem körül. Az idő eléggé&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; változatos volt, hisz a szakadó esőtől a napsütésig minden volt. Az &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;örvös ludat&lt;/span&gt; egy nagyobb, ezres vadlúd csapatban találtam meg (tömegében leginkább nagy lilikkel, néhány tucat nyári lúddal és néhány tudra lúddal).

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Néhány alkalommal jól láttam az öreg örvös ludat. Miközben elég nehéz volt egyértelműen megmondani, hogy vajon a '&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;hrota&lt;/span&gt;' alfajhoz tartozik-e a madár, a bélyegek összegzése után a '&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;bernicla&lt;/span&gt;' alfaj mellett voksoltam. A Collins B&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;ird Guide volt velem, mely egyértelműen leírja a két alfaj közötti különbséget. A szénfekete mell nem vált el annyira élesen a has sötétszürke színétől, ugyanakkor nem volt olyan sötét, mint ahogy a könyvben látható. A világos oldal piszkosfehérnek tűnt, de nem volt kiterjedt. A könyvben a fehér sávozás, folt lehúzódik a hasra is, ahol annak világos színével szinte egybeolvad. A másik bélyeg lehet a lágyék&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; környékének színe, melyet én mindig sötétnek láttam a gyalogló madáron, ami inkább a &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;'bernicla' &lt;/span&gt;jellemzője. Közelebbről kell megvizsgálni ezt a madarat ahhoz, hogy biztosan el lehessen dönteni mely alfajról van szó. Mindössze néhány homályos képet sikerült alkotni, mivel túl messze voltam rossz fényviszonyokban.

Ugyanebben a csapatban találtam egy nyakgyűrűs nyári ludat is. A piros műanyag gyűrűn IX53-as kód volt olvasható.

Based on the image taken on the day the birds was found and published in &lt;a href="http://www.birding.hu/galeria.do?tipus=0"&gt;birding.hu&lt;/a&gt;, he feels this bird should be the race &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Branta bernicla &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;hrota&lt;/span&gt;. To be honest I have week knowledge of the Brent Goose races but he is right in one of the key feature of '&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;hrota&lt;/span&gt;' as having a very light belly. Although the image was taken by mobile phone it shows true colors as there is some other birds on the image to compare the coloration and contrast. If this is proven to be a '&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;hrota&lt;/span&gt;' race this would be the first record for Hungary if accepted by our committee. I will go out tomorrow to try for a better shot for further analysis. Nevertheless this race is a potential split so twitchers are eagerly waiting for the result :) / &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Ma azzal hívott fel Zalai Tamás, hogy a &lt;a href="http://www.birding.hu/galeria.do?tipus=0"&gt;birding.hu&lt;/a&gt;-ra feltett örvös lúd fotó szerinte az örvös lúd "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;hrota&lt;/span&gt;" alfajához tartozik. Hogy őszinte legyek az örvös lúd alfajokról meglehetősen hiányosak az ismereteim, de abban igaza van, hogy extrém világos a hasa és az oldala a madárnak. Bár a fotó mobiltelefonnal készült a képen valós színek látszanak, lévén az összehasonlítási alapra a többi fajjal. Ha bebizonyosodik, hogy ez a "hrota" alfaj, akkor ez lenne az első magyarországi adata, feltéve, ha a bizottság is elfogadja azt. Holnap reggel kimegyek és megpróbálok egy jobb fotót csinálni róla a további vizsgálódás érdekében. Mellesleg ez az alfaj potenciális split, azaz külön fajjá válása javasolt, úgyhogy a twitcherek már türelmetlenül várják az eredményt. :)

As I was not home I tried to find it today. I went out with my children but the weather and the lights was not really on our side. It was also raining almost the whole morning. First we went out to the Öreg-tó (in English 'Old Lake') in Tata where we saw a mixed flock of Tundra and Taiga Bean-Goose with approx 1100 birds. Among them I found a single &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Red-breasted Goose&lt;/span&gt; (first record in this winter season). As drizzling turned into a nice shower we left the area without finding the Brent. Still we saw 32 Dunlins on the mudflat.

Then we drove to the Ferencmajor fishponds where the Brent was relocated yesterday during daytime. The lake where geese are gathering was full of waterfowl. Approximately there were 800 geese most of them were Greater White-fronted and Greylag Goose and a few Taiga Bean Goose. Finally among Greylags I found the &lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;Brent Goose&lt;/span&gt; swimming. Soon after spotting the bird a small flock flew to the adjacent field including the Brent. I was following the flock and was succeed to find it again from a much shorter distance. Unfortunately here the weather turned really bad and we had no chance to count other birds properly. Among a few thousands ducks we saw 6 &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Pygmy Cormorants&lt;/span&gt; as well./&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Tegnap helyi madarászok találtak egy örvös ludat az Öreg-tavon. Mivel nem voltam itthon, ezért ma próbáltam megtalálni a madarat. Gyerekeimmel mentünk ki, de az időjárás és a fényviszonyok ezúttal nem a mi oldalunkon álltak. Egész reggel és délelőtt esett az eső. Az Öreg-tavon egy 1100-as vegyes tundra és tajga lúd csapat volt, köztük egy &lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;vörösnyakú lúddal&lt;/span&gt; (ez az első idei téli szezon-beli adata). Később a szemerkélő eső kisebb zivatarba csapott át, így eljöttünk a tóról anélkül, hogy megtaláltuk volna az örvös ludat. Az iszappadokon volt még 32 havasi partfutó is.

Ezután a Ferencmajori-halastavakhoz mentünk, ahol tegnap napközben is visszatalálták az örvös ludat. A 4-es tó, ahol a ludak gyülekeztek tele volt vizimadárral. Kb. 800 ludat számoltam többségük nagy lilik és nyári lúd volt, de akadt köztük kevés tajga lúd is. Végül egy kisebb nyári lúd csapatban megtaláltam az &lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;örvös ludat&lt;/span&gt;. Nem sokkal utána egy csapat felrepült, köztük az örvössel és átrepültek a közeli táplálkozó-területre, ahol ismét megtaláltuk és lényegesen közelebbről figyelhettük. Sajnos az idő egyre rosszabbra fordult így már nem volt lehetőség a többi vizimadarat jobban átnézni. Az érdekesebb fajok közül a 6 &lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;kis kárókatona&lt;/span&gt; érdemel említést az egy-két ezer egyéb réceféle mellett.

There are world (lifer) lists, regional or country lists, year lists or bird species gruop (e.g. birds of prey, birds-of-paradise etc.) list as well. Most of the list is created in Excel files with thickmarks while others handle it online. With &lt;a href="http://earth.google.com/"&gt;Google Earth&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://maps.google.com/"&gt;Google Maps&lt;/a&gt; there is a new way to visualize our records.

For those who would love to play (and have time for it!) with their records in the long grey winter days there are some way to add placemarks to maps utilizing Google solutions. It is especially useful if someone regularly shares trip sigtings with others. In Google Earth every placemark can be saved individually and can be sent by e-mail to the 'client' with the detail of bird recorded. In Google Maps you can generate a link of the certain map and you can also share it by sending via e-mail. If you keep your list in EXCEL file the link can be easily added to the species. Creating trip reports with routing is very easy including placemarks of sightings, a remarkable scenic landscape, notes, warnings, hotels, petrol stations etc. I also use them for planning any kind of trip where I can virtually travel along the routes before I actually would depart from home. Here are some expamples how I managed my records.
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_MIUMyTjDkZI/RyM9cb4NtDI/AAAAAAAAAJk/yeBVSUl8980/s1600-h/GoogleMapSzimi1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_MIUMyTjDkZI/RyM9cb4NtDI/AAAAAAAAAJk/yeBVSUl8980/s400/GoogleMapSzimi1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5126008359606924338" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Placemark bubbles can contain any details of the record (date of birds seen, name of the place,  number of birds seen or a story behind, etc.).
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_MIUMyTjDkZI/RyNDyr4NtEI/AAAAAAAAAJs/7jWzDxFwpvc/s1600-h/GoogleMapSzimi2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_MIUMyTjDkZI/RyNDyr4NtEI/AAAAAAAAAJs/7jWzDxFwpvc/s400/GoogleMapSzimi2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5126015338928780354" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Of course any magnification is possible. You can zoom in and out till the map allows it.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_MIUMyTjDkZI/RyNEJr4NtFI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/PyOcUuZ-Dc8/s1600-h/GoogleMapSzimi3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_MIUMyTjDkZI/RyNEJr4NtFI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/PyOcUuZ-Dc8/s400/GoogleMapSzimi3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5126015734065771602" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Alternatively you can add images and videos as well. (note: Google Maps recommends to use &lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/"&gt;Picasaweb&lt;/a&gt; to add images to a placemark however I was not succeed to make the image visible. I used one of the other image uploader possibility instead of Picasaweb which just works fine.)
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_MIUMyTjDkZI/RyNNUr4NtGI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/jDNyTjkcwsY/s1600-h/Lifers.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_MIUMyTjDkZI/RyNNUr4NtGI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/jDNyTjkcwsY/s400/Lifers.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5126025818648982626" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;This is a slice of my life list kept in EXCEL sheet.

Clements. I am not as serious bird 'hunter' for my list as my other friends but love to see new things and the birds are in the leading position. In 2006 I spent a nice holiday in Cuba with my wife and saw the local race of Common Black-Hawk which is now considered as a separate species named &lt;a href="http://www.szimistyle.com/index.php?id=139&amp;amp;orsz=7"&gt;Cuban Hawk-Eagle &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Buteogallus gundlachii&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. If you are a list keeper it is very useful to record not only the species but the subspecies as well. Taxonomy changes can result surprise while you are sitting in your chair at home.

It is sad to see some of the species recently confirmed/believed to be extict such as Guam Flycatcher &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Myiagra freycineti&lt;/span&gt; (Guam, S Mariana Islands), Kauai Oo &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Moho braccatus&lt;/span&gt; (Kauai, Hawaiian Island) and Bishop’s Oo &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Moho bishopi &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;(Maui, Hawaiian Island)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;.
&lt;/span&gt;
It is a little bit strange for my eyes to read that due to the recent phylogenetic analyses a close sister-group relationship identified between flamingos &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Phoenicopteriformes&lt;/span&gt; and grebes &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Podicipediformes&lt;/span&gt;. This is now recommended by the &lt;a href="http://www.bou.org.uk/"&gt;British Ornithologists' Union&lt;/a&gt; (published in &lt;a href="http://www.bou.org.uk/pubibis.html"&gt;Ibis&lt;/a&gt;) to name this group as &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Mirandornithes&lt;/span&gt; and place them between &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Ciconiiformes&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Falconiformes&lt;/span&gt;, with the flamingos listed before the grebes.

There is again a huge change in the Gull family indicating that our knowledge is not yet fully complete regarding this group of birds. Studies provided some new result in the relationship of different species that's why BOU recommends a new sequence list for the birds ever recorded in Europe:
Ivory Gull &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Pagophila eburnea&lt;/span&gt;
Sabine’s Gull &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Xema sabini&lt;/span&gt;
Black-legged Kittiwake &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Rissa tridactyla&lt;/span&gt;
Slender-billed Gull &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Chroicocephalus genei&lt;/span&gt;
Bonaparte’s Gull &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Chroicocephalus philadelphia&lt;/span&gt;
Black-headed Gull &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Chroicocephalus ridibundus&lt;/span&gt;
Little Gull &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Hydrocoloeus minutus&lt;/span&gt;
Ross’s Gull &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Rhodostethia rosea&lt;/span&gt;
Laughing Gull &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Larus atricilla&lt;/span&gt;
Franklin’s Gull &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Larus pipixcan&lt;/span&gt;
Mediterranean Gull &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Larus melanocephalus&lt;/span&gt;
Audouin’s Gull &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Larus audouinii&lt;/span&gt;
Pallas’s Gull &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Larus ichthyaetus&lt;/span&gt;
Mew Gull &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Larus canus&lt;/span&gt;
Ring-billed Gull &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Larus delawarensis&lt;/span&gt;
Lesser Black-backed Gull &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Larus fuscus&lt;/span&gt;
Herring Gull &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Larus argentatus&lt;/span&gt;
Yellow-legged Gull &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Larus michahellis&lt;/span&gt;
Caspian Gull &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Larus cachinnans&lt;/span&gt;
American Herring Gull &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Larus smithsonianus&lt;/span&gt;
Iceland Gull &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Larus glaucoides&lt;/span&gt;
Glaucous Gull &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Larus hyperboreus&lt;/span&gt;
Great Black-backed Gull &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Larus marinus&lt;/span&gt;
The member of former &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Larus&lt;/span&gt; genus decreased drastically as a result of grouping the species showing strong relationship with each other. Naming e.g the new genus &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Chroicocephalus&lt;/span&gt; with three species in Europe (Slender-billed Gull, Bonaparte’s Gull and Black-headed Gull) is among the main changes.

So today I won a species but maybe next time I will loose one due to lumping. You never know but all in all this is a game. :)
I have seen &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;2001&lt;/span&gt; species so far...

Unfortunately we could not joint them due to some booking problem in our hotel but later we decided we make our own short trip to the Ile de Ré, a small island linked to the mainland by a long bridge. The weather was not so pleasant but still acceptable for birding. It was not enough to take decent shots on birds. Tide was just coming while we were at the coast.

&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;I can't stand not to talk a few words about the pearl of Bordeaux wine region laying just east of the capital of this county. We spent one night in St-Émilion where one of the greatest red wines produced in the world. Fall cannot be a better season to visit the region when the harvest is well under way, everybody is quite busy and the vineyards are full of people working hard to have another fantastic vintage on the dining table of their fans. We had a nice opportunity to touch the edge of the "golden plate" as economically a well planned trip needed to be fully absorbed in those tasty 'juices'. There are some images to be able to get an impression of the territory of St-Émilion.&lt;/span&gt;

I decided to take a nice detour and we entered the Pyrennes, the beautiful mountain where we have never been. Secretly I was hoping to find accidentally a Bonelli's Eagle but finally missed it. Turning west from the coastline the weather changed dramatically from sunny to rainy. The clouds had such a dark greyblue color what I have seldomly seen in Hungary. This resulted an exciting experience later to drive in heavy snowfall with summer tyres.

We were birding along the roads on the western part of Camargue National Park. There were nothing really special but nice birds around. For a Hungarian guy dozens of Cattle Egrets and hundreds of feeding Greater Flamingos don't belong to the commonest spectacle. It was also nice to see the visible migration of Barn Swallows obviously being in a hurry to the south. An uncommonly late Common Swift was also good to see.

The various habitat types makes this complex interesting and diverse. As we crossed the area on the northern part we returned to the eastern coastline. There were much less bird species in smaller numbers on the salt pans and lagoons. Cetti's Warblers were still or again singing in almost all the bushy habitats.

&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Interesting species for my eyes:&lt;/span&gt;
Cattle Egret 400
Greater Flamingo 500
Common Shelduck 60
Peregrine Falcon 1 juv.
Snowy Plover 25
Dunlin 15
Sandwich Tern 90
Caspian Tern 1
Common Swift 1
Barn Swallow 600
Cetti's Warbler 30+
Zitting Cisticola 1
Rock Sparrow &amp;amp; House Sparrow mixed flock 400

The few days prior to the conference was dedicated to explore the unknown areas in southern France where I had never been to. A few lifer was expected to see which I made some research for before my departure. Luckily Sébastien Durand, a French birder, helped me to locate the best places for the targeted Little Bustard. Finally all the lifers I saw was on the same place at the Airfield of Eyguiéres, just north east of Arles. We arrived in the morning time to the airfield. Immediately I found several &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Red-legged partridge&lt;/span&gt; walking in the grassy field. The first lifer. Shortly after I walked on the road just south of the airfield trying to spot feeding Little Bustards. It was almost too late to look over the field as the heat vibration was too extensive.

We returned back in the afternoon and tried to find the bustards on other side of the area. While scoping the field a &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Southern Grey Shrike&lt;/span&gt; was found hunting on the northern part of the area. This is another lifer for today. After giving up waiting we jumped into the car and departed when I spotted a small flock of birds flying over the airfield. There were 25 &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Little Bustards&lt;/span&gt; flying in one compact flock. Unfortunately I could not follow them so no idea where they flew. On the other side of the airfield I walked again on the road to look for them for a possible closer view. Soon after 3 birds were flying towards me and landed nearby in the grassland. I tried to spot them without success. As closed the spot where they landed I tried to keep hided but the birds noticed me and flushed away when I aproached them by 50 meters. I could see them in detail. All the tree birds were molting. When I left the spot a hunter arrived. It is better not to think about his targets.

Anyway the Little Bustard was my &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;2000th&lt;/span&gt; species I have ever seen!

We were driving on the eastern part of the large lagoon system down to Salin-de-Giraud. Apart from the strong wind the weather was quite pleasant.

I was expecting to see many shorebirds but the I was disappointed at the lakes. There was only one drained pond which was almost completely empty. The lake #4 was holding a large number of ducks and a few geese./&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;A folyamatos irodai munka már kicsit unalmas volt, így kerestem egy kis szabadidőt, hogy kijussak a terepre. Azt reméltem, hogy sok partimadarat láthatok, de ehhez képest az egyetlen csapolt tó szinte teljesen üres volt. A 4-es tavon nagy számú récét és néhány ludat láttam.&lt;/span&gt;

The situation was quite similar comapred to yesterday's visit. Fishermen worked heavily at the lake which caused a little disturbance at the place they acted. Blissfully the lake is  large enough to provide peaceful feeding areas for the shorebirds. Unhappily a heavy shower forced me leave the area before I wanted./&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Ma kicsit hamarabb próbáltam kijutni a lecsapolt tóhoz, ahol nagyjából a tegnapi körülmények vártak. A halászok nagy lendülettel dolgoztak a tavon, kismértékű zavarást okozva a környezetükben. Szerencsére a tó elég nagy ahhoz, hogy a távolabbi helyeken találjanak maguknak táplálékot a partimadarak. Sajnos egy heves zivatar még idő előtt elzavart a területről.&lt;/span&gt;

This makes us, bird-watchers, a nice opportunity to find something special for the area. Today some cool birds were found by one of our birding members. I went out with Szandra for a short time in the late evening./&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Mint az minden évben szokásos, idén is folyamatosan csapolják a tavakat az őszi lehalászások okán. Ez jó lehetőséget ad arra, hogy találjunk valami jó fajt a területre nézve. Egyik madarásztársunk ma eléggé jó fajokat talált napközben az egyik tavon. Ezekből szemezgettünk késő este a Szandrával.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Records/Adatok:&lt;/span&gt;
Eurasian Spoonbill/&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Kanalasgém&lt;/span&gt; 31 (Two birds ringed was seen. One of them was successfully read while the other was walking into a dike before being able to read the code. The read code is X2 on a light green plastic ring on both leg. This bird was first found on 12 July at Réti fishponds, Tata. The other bird wore a red plastic ring on the right leg. Based on the previous observation on 12 July it is supposed that the bird could be with the code of Y6./&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Két színes gyűrűs madarat láttam. Egyiket sikerült leolvasni, míg a másik sajnos egy árokba gyalogolt, mielőtt leolvashattam volna a kódot. A mindkét lábon levő világoszöld műanyag gyűrűn leolvasott kód X2 volt. Ezt a madarat előszőr július 12-én találtam a Réti-tavakon, Tatán. A másik madáron egy piros műanyag gyűrű volt a jobb lábon. A korábbi megfigyelés alapján feltételezhető, hogy a július 12-én leolvasott másik jelölt madárról volt szó, Y6-os kóddal.&lt;/span&gt;)

They were wrong! The morning rain blocked us to look around. In the afternoon there was some nice birds recorded./&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Az időjárás előrejelzés alapján, abban a reményben keltünk korán, hogy egy jót madarászhatunk. Tévedtek! A reggeli esők megakadályoztak abban, hogy körbejárjuk a jobb élőhelyeket. Délután azért láttunk néhány érdekesebb fajt.&lt;/span&gt;

A part of them left the area just before dusk./&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Este érkeztek a tóra nyugat felől és nyílvánvalóan éjszakázóhelyet kerestek. Egy nagyobb csapatuk még sötétedés előtt elhagyta a tavakat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;

In the morning amazing and unusual number of birds trapped in quite nice species diversity. Total number of birds ringed is  about 400 by the end of the day. Among the many interesting bird we can underline Barred and Wood Warblers, Wrynecks while the most numerous species was the Blackcap and Sedge Warbler./&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Mind a gyűrűzés, mind pedig a megfigyelések szempontjából nagyszerű nap volt a mai. Reggel szokatlan mennyiségű madarat fogtunk nagyon szép fajgazdagságban. A gyűrűzött madarak összmennyisége 400 körül van a nap végén. Az érdekesebb gyűrűzött fajok között vannak a karvalyposzáták, sisegő füzikék illetve a nyaktekercsek, míg a legtöbbet a barátkából és a foltos nádiposzátából gyűrűztünk.

&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;Radde's Warbler/&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Vastagcsőrű füzike&lt;/span&gt; 1 (ad.) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;The bird was alerted at about 4:45 pm by Péter Csonka. The bird has slowly been moving on the ground or close to it very nearby our ringing camp. As the ID was not 100% in the beginning more of us tried to find it.  I also arrived very soon and tried to play its call from the car. This wasn't really helpful. Then as others approached to it suddenly moved towards us providing some excellent views to be able to see its features for positive ID. Unfortunately there was no chance to take a few shot as it was too fast moving. The prominent eyebrowe extended behind the eye, the dark brown (soil brown) upperparts, the yellowish legs, the well visible and obvious yellowish undertail-covers, short bill and its behavior made us sure to identify it as a Radde's Warbler./&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;A madarat Csonka Peti jelezte 16:45 körül. A madár lassan mozgott&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;a talajon, vagy az aljnövényzetben, a gyűrűző táborunk mellett. Mivel eleinte a határozás nem volt 100%-os, ezért többen bekapcsolódtak a visszakeresésébe. Miután megérkeztem megpróbáltuk hanggal elcsalni, melyre nem reagált. Néhányan megközelítették a helyet, ahol utoljára látták és akkor kirepült felénk, ahol kitűnően láthattuk ahhoz, hogy pozitívan határozhassuk. Sajnos fotózási kísérletem nem járt sikerrel. A feltűnő szemsáv, mely a szem mögé ért, a földbarna felsőtest, a sárgás lábak és a feltűnő és jól látható sárgás alsó farokfedők biztossá tettek bennünket abban, hogy vastagcsőrű füzikét láttunk.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;)

I felt like I was somewhere in Asia in the monsoon! The only new bird of note today was a dark morph European Honey-Buzzard. The highlight was however a &lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;Death's Head Hawkmoth &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;(Acherontia atropos)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, which was safely removed from one of the mistnets! This amazing-looking moth was then kept in the dry of the camp. When handled it made a strange squeaky noise - it is the only moth that can do this, by forcing air down its proboscis. Here are some photos of this rarity:

Magyaroszágon jómagam sosem láttam ennyire sokáig tartó heves esőzést. Időnként úgy éreztem, hogy valahol Ázsiában vagyok a monszun ideje alatt. Ez nagyjából elmond mindent a madarak aktivitásáról. Az egyetlen érdekesebb faj egy sötét változatú darázsölyv volt délután. A reggeli órákban az egyik hálóból egy &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;halálfejes lepkét &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;(Acherontia atropos)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; mentettek ki sikeresen. Ezt a hihetetlen külsejű lepkét száraz körülmények között tartottuk a táborban. Miközben fotóztuk hallatta jellegzetes cincogó hangját. Néhány fotót is találhatsz erről a ritka fajról.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5593151404713220532-1115283093922557330?l=szimistyle.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://szimistyle.blogspot.com/feeds/1115283093922557330/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5593151404713220532&amp;postID=1115283093922557330' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5593151404713220532/posts/default/1115283093922557330'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5593151404713220532/posts/default/1115283093922557330'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://szimistyle.blogspot.com/2007/08/12082007-ferencmajor-fishponds-naszly.html' title='12.08.2007 - Ferencmajor fishponds, Naszály, Hungary'/><author><name>Gyorgy Szimuly (SzimiStyle)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12912424396295414364</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_MIUMyTjDkZI/Rr9Y4z25API/AAAAAAAAACw/KGrCCzDHOr4/s72-c/Death%27s+Head+Hawkmoth_12082007_006+copy.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5593151404713220532.post-216227339644995775</id><published>2007-08-11T22:53:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2007-08-11T23:16:27.779+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bird Ringing Camp'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Birding'/><title type='text'>11.08.2007 - Ferencmajor fishponds, Naszály, Hungary</title><content type='html'>After a two hours long heavy rain during the night the daytime was quite good with some sun.

Az éjszakai két órás heves esőzések után napközben meglehetősen jó idő volt, némi napsütéssel. A reggeli órákban a hőmérséklet 18°C körül volt, de dél körül már meleg és igen párás volt.

A mai délelőtt rendkívül meleg volt jóval túl a 30°C, de délután egy komolyabb vihar zúdúlt a Ferencmajorra. A jeges felhőszakadás nyomán a hőmérséklet 10°C fokkal csökkent délutánra. A fogott madarak száma alacsonyabb volt, mint egy nappal korábban.

Here I will share with you the most interesting recordings (for the site) made by the participants.
In the afternoon I saw a Whimbrel calling all the time while looked for a resting place. From the birdhide of the camp a Purple Heron and 74 Great Crested Grebe were seen. During some maintenance work we saw an European Honey-Buzzard nearby the main road of the lakes and also 17 Black Storks slowly moving to the East. In the evening 30.000 European Starlings and 800 Barn Swallows arrived for night roosting.

Ma nappal felépítettük a szokásos évi madáarász és madárgyűrűző táborunkat a halastavaknál, ami augusztus végéig tart. Blogomban megosztom a legérdekesebb megfigyeléseket, melyeket a tábor lakói vagy csak én láttam.
Délután egy kis pólingot láttunk a tavak fölött körözni. Láthatóan pihenőhelyet keresett magának. A tábori lesről több faj között láttunk egy vörös gémet és 74 búbos vöcsköt. A táborral kapcsolatos munkák során egy darázsölyvet is láttunk, illetve 17 (vonuló) fekete gólyát, melyek lassan kelet felé vonultak. A esti behúzásra 30.000 seregély és kb. 800 főként füstiu fecskéből álló fecskecsapat gyülekezett a 13-as tó fölött.

All the lakes are to be drained by the extreme weather. The temperature is very close to the absolute maximum ever recorded (over 41ºC). On the long time ago dry ponds only three families of Pied Avocets (8 pairs had breeding attempt) and one pair of Black-winged Stilt with chicks were also seen.

Many Common Terns hunting around the area and still feeding the young birds.

I went out with Szandra, Dani for counting birds at the only "shorebird" pond in the late afternoon. This lake is closely related to the Ferencmajor fishponds (4 km distance between the two pond system) from movement of birds point of view. As an example the shorebirds quantity is quickly decreased at the Ferencmajor fishponds by the groving vegetation while it increased in Tata.

Among shorebirds we saw two ringed Eurasian Spoonbills with the following combination of color rings:
adult (or better to say 2y+) with light green ring on bot leg with code X2
adult (or better to say 2y+) with red plastic ring on the right leg with code Y6 (and a black on the left leg)

The following numbers are recorded:

Great Egret 55
Little Egret 18
Eurasian Spoonbill 22
Black Stork 1
European Hobby 1
Pied Avocet 23
Black-winged Stilt 10
Northern Lapwing 18
Little Ringed Plover 25
Black-tailed Godwit 4
Common Redshank 3

A tatai Réti-halastavakon a vízszint egyre alacsonyabb, mely kedvező feltételeket nyújt a gázló és partimadaraknak. Ma késő délután Szadrával és Danival mentem ki számolni a 8-as tóra. A madármozgások tekintetében ez a tó szoros kapcsolatban van a Ferencmajori-halastavakkal (mindössze 4 km van a két rendszer között). Csak példaképp a Ferencmajorban levő gulipánok és gólyatöcsök szinte mind eltűntek (a felnövekvő növényzet miatt), ugyanakkor a Réti-tavakon feltehetően ezeket a madarakat láttuk ma.


A 8-as tavon a kanalasgémek között két színes gyűrűs madár is volt, melyek közül egy már a korábbi napokban is látható volt. A következő kombinációval:
Öreg (inkább 2y+) világoszöld színes gyűrű mindkét lábán X2 kóddal
Öreg (inkább 2y+) fekete egyszínű színes gyűrű a bal lábon, piros a jobb lábon Y6 kóddal

Következő mennyiségeket számoltunk:

Nagy kócsag 55
Kis kócsag 18
Kanalasgém 22
Fekete gólya 1
Kabasólyom 1
Gulipán 23
Gólyatöcs 10
Bíbic 18
Kis lile 25
Nagy goda 4
Piroslábú cankó 3
Füstös cankó 41
Szürke cankó 37
Tavi cankó 2
Réti cankó 175
Erdei cankó 1
Billegetőcankó 1
Pajzsoscankó 169

This lake is situated 500 m of the last house of my home town. What is not good for fishermen that is excellent for the birds. Very nice number of birds recorded including 34 Eurasaian Spoonbills. Most of the birds are juveniles still praying for food from adults. One of the birds wore a color ring with the probable letter combination of ZX. The ring looked white and placed on the right leg.

From the nearby stream a Black Stork flew off when getting very close to it. Also two very nice Puprle Heron was seen on one of the small ponds.

Shorebirds and other interesting birds seen as follows:

Purple Heron 2

Only  a narrow edge area is free from the growths. Due to the lack of water supply the water level is decreasing resulting very shallow feeding habitats for shorebirds.
The weather has been extremely hot since weeks. There are signs of developing botulism at least on this lake. Some Greylag Goose showed a not so healthy conditions what the fishermen also reported. This is needed to be checked on a regular basis to organize rescue actions if needed as the number of Greylags are increasing day by day.&lt;div&gt;At one of the lake we saw 2 Purple Heron.
Shorebird numbers are as follows:

Pied Avocet 28
Black-winged Stilt 6
Eurasian Oystercatcher 1
Northern Lapwing 30
Little Ringed Plover 8
Common Redshank 17
Common Greenshank 5
Marsh Sandpiper 1

While looking for new photo-subjects we found a lifer for her. A Tawny Pipit was at its usual place in Mocsa's old vinery. Nothing extra just some Red-backed Shrikes fed chicks. At the western outer fishponds of this region we saw a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Ferruginosus Pochard&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;" class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt; drake (possible nesting based on his behavior). Also two family of a Red-crested Pochard with chicks was seen at the edge of the reed-beds. A flock of White Storks (7 birds) fed on the grassland nearby. Two of them were ringed. Not far from them two Black Storks hovered.

At Ferencmajor fishponds we checked some lakes. The number of Mute Swans increased dramatically from a few to 86 birds. Greylag Goose numbers also increased nicely with about 150 birds. Here we saw three families of Red-crested Pochard and with the drakes nearby totaled of 52 birds (including 23 chicks). On the drained lake the local fishing company made a fatal mistake by overflowing the area by water resulting brood loss of Pied Avocets and Black-winged Stilts. A few chicks have already hatched and the rest were just about to do so. Also looks that Common  Redshanks suffered the more as bred close to the edge of the water. No territorial behavior recorded. Numbers of shorebirds were as follows:

&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Pied Avocet 21 (including 7 chicks)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div  style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Black-winged Stilt 6&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div  style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Northern Lapwing 70&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div  style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Little Ringed Plover 15&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div  style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Black-tailed Godwit 3&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div  style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Spotted Redshank 6&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div  style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Common Redshank 45&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div  style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Common Greenshank 4&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div  style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Green Sandpiper 12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div  style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Common Tern 1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div  style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;

Mocsánál az örög szőlőskertnél láttunk egy parlagi pityert, mely új volt Szandrának. Itt mást nem láttunk csak etető tövisszúró gébicseket. A külső tavak közül a Boldogasszonyin egy &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;cigányréce&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt; gácsért láttunk, mely viselkedése fészkelésre utalhat. A nádszegélyben két üstökösréce vezetgette fiókáit. Grébics-pusztán 7 fehér gólyát láttunk, melyből két madár gyűrűs volt. Nem messze tőlük 2 fekete gólya is keringett Béla-puszta felett.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div  style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div  style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;A Ferencmajor-halastavaknál is megnéztünk néhány tavat. A bütykös hattyúk száma a korábbi tizen számú madarakhoz képes erőteljesen megugrott. 86 madarat számoltunk. A nyári ludak száma szintén növekszik, s ma már mintegy 150 madár volt. Három üstökös réce családot láttunk a barátrécék között. Összesen 52 madarat, melyből 23 fióka volt. A lecsapolt tavon a helyi halászati vállalat visszavonhatatlan hibát követett el azzal, hogy ráárasztott a tóra a tilalom ellenére. Ennek eredményeképpen a sziget egy része, melyen a gulipánok költenek, víz alá került. Néhány fióka már kikelt és a többi tojásból is a napokban volt várható a kelés. Úgy tűnik, hogy a többi faj közül a piroslábú cankó szendvedte el a legjobban az árasztást, mivel az 5-6 cm vízszint-emelkedés elérte a fészkeket. Ma már nem is láttunk territoriális viselkedést. Partimadár mennyiségek:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div  style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;

Despite it was in the morning time the weather was extremely hot. The whole area looked like normally in mid July. The bird numbers and the activity is quite moderate. On the only drained pond the vegetation grow up covering 90% of the mudflat. Avocets and Stilts still had full clutches on the breeing island. Not sure how many pairs breeding at the moment as the adults behaved quite defensive and left the nests. Shorebird numbers counted as follows:

Pied Avocet 18 (one 1 day old chick on the breeding island)
Black-winged Stilt 5
Northern Lapwing 140
Little Ringed Plover 15
Black-tailed Godwit 2
Spotted Redshank 6
Common Greenshank 1
Common Redshank 45
Wood Sandpiper 10
Green Sandpiper 6
Whiskered Tern 1

----------

Egy rövid terepszemlére mentem ma ki. Annak ellenére, hogy korán kint voltam a hőmérséklet már az egekben járt. A terület már-már a július közepi állapotokat mutatta mind a mennyiségekben, mind az aktivitásban. Az egyetlen száraz tómedret már 30-40 cm magas vegetáció borítja mintegy 90%-ban. A gulipánoknak és a gólyatöcsöknek még mindig teljes fészekaljai vannak. Nem vagyok benne biztos, hogy hány költőpár van most a tavon, mert az öreg madarak területféltő magatartása miatt ezt nem tudtam megállapítani. Számolt partimadár mennyiségek:

Gulipán 18 (egy 1 napos fiókát is láttam a költőszigeten)
Gólyatöcs 5
Bíbic 140
Kis lile 15
Nagy goda 2
Füstös cankó 6
Szürke cankó 1

The drained pond was quiet. We are just before a cold spell so maybe the situation will change a bit. Already 8 Pied Avocets and one Black-winged Stilt having full clutches. Shorebirds counted as follows:

Pied Avocet 36
Black-winged Stilt 12
Northern Lapwing 158
Grey Plover 1
Little Ringed Plover 28
Common Ringed Plover 8
Common Redshank 26
Ruff and Reeve 5
Dunlin 1
Curlew Sandpiper 2
Little Stint 38
Black Tern 6

After leaving the ponds we headed to check another place for breeding Little Ringed Plovers. It was on one of the islands of the River Danube. We found a new nest with four eggs with the male nearby.

We also visited an area in the Gerecse mountain where Imperial Eagle is breeding. One bird, most probably the male, was seen flying over the territory while one or two chicks were seen in the nest. Many European Bee-eater were around the area.

Ma a Ferencmajori-halastavakat néztük meg Szandrával. A lecsapolt tó elég csendes volt. Egy hidegfront előtt vagyunk, így a helyzet néhány napon belül változhat. Már 8 gulipán és egy gólyatöcs fészakalj teljes a kis zátonyokon. A számolt partimadár-mennyiségek:

Gulipán 36
Gólyatöcs 12
Bíbic 158
Ezüstlile 1
Kis lile 28
Parti lile 8
Piroslábú cankó 26
Pajzsoscankó 5
Havasi partfutó 1
Sarlós partfutó 2
Apró partfutó 38
Kormos szerkő 6

Miután elmentünk a tavaktól egy dunai szigeten levő kis lile fészkelőhelyet néztünk meg, ahol Szandra talált is egy friss, 4 tojásos fészekaljat. Innen a Észak-Gerecsén keresztül mentünk haza, majd megnéztük a parlagi sas fészkelőhelyét. Egy madár, valószínűleg a hím, a területe fölött keringett, míg a fészekben láttuk a fiókákat is. Ugyanitt sok gyurgyalag (30+) táplálkozott.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5593151404713220532-6140943977262959923?l=szimistyle.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://szimistyle.blogspot.com/feeds/6140943977262959923/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5593151404713220532&amp;postID=6140943977262959923' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5593151404713220532/posts/default/6140943977262959923'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5593151404713220532/posts/default/6140943977262959923'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://szimistyle.blogspot.com/2007/05/27052007-ferencmajor-fishponds-nw.html' title='27.05.2007 - Ferencmajor fishponds, NW Hungary'/><author><name>Gyorgy Szimuly (SzimiStyle)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12912424396295414364</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5593151404713220532.post-1940598546492980193</id><published>2007-05-27T11:42:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2007-05-27T12:16:58.254+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Birding'/><title type='text'>26.05.2007 - Hortobágy National Park</title><content type='html'>It has been a very nice day!

We visited the Hortobágy National Park in the morning and late evening time skipped the hottest times of the day. It was amazing to see how dry year we already have. The grasslands or as we cal it "puszta" is already shoving the characteristics of an August puszta. Dried grass colored the landscape by faded orange. No water on the grasslands since weeks. On some part we had a feeling as we were somewhere in a semi-desert.

Birds were typical for the region and nothing extreme was found although we so much expected to find some Rose-colored Starlings as several flocks were reported in the previous days countrywide. We could not find any and only one flock reported from yesterday a bit far from the Hortobágy region.

The unclomplete birdlist from our trip (the interesting ones):
Squacco Heron
Purple Heron
Ferruginosus Duck 3
European Honey-Buzzard 2
White-tailed Eagle 1
Red-footed Falcon 100+
Europen Kestrel 1
Eurasian Thick-knee 2
Little Owl 2
European Bee-eater 4
European Roller 5
Lesser Grey Shrike 10+

On the way back heavy thunderstorms crossed the Hortobágy and also the highway.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5593151404713220532-1940598546492980193?l=szimistyle.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5593151404713220532/posts/default/1940598546492980193'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5593151404713220532/posts/default/1940598546492980193'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://szimistyle.blogspot.com/2007/05/26052007-hortobgy-national-park.html' title='26.05.2007 - Hortobágy National Park'/><author><name>Gyorgy Szimuly (SzimiStyle)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12912424396295414364</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5593151404713220532.post-4926989033611102933</id><published>2007-05-25T13:20:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2007-05-25T13:40:07.163+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Birding'/><title type='text'>25.05.2007 - Ferencmajor fishponds, NW Hungary</title><content type='html'>Today I got a so called magic material as an injection to block the symptom of my pollen allergy. I hope it will be effective and I can continue my job in the field. On the way back home I checked the the drained pond again. The weather is again extremely hot with 31ºC in shadow. The breeding of shorebirds is improving as a new species, the Black-winged Stilt started to incubate on one of the little muddy islands. More Stilts are here so more cluthes could be produced in the coming days.

Ma végre megkaptam az allergia elleni csodaszert, mely állítólag egész szezonra megvéd a tünetektől. Remélem hatásos lesz és tudom folytatni a munkát a terepen is. Hazafelé jövet benéztem a lecsapolt tóhoz. Ma is rendkívül meleg van, 31ºC árnyékban. A fészkelő partimadár közösség egy újabb fajjal bővült a mai napon. Egy látszólag kotló tojó gólyatöcsöt láttam az egyik szigeten, ahol a gulipánok is ülnek. Több töcs is volt ma a tavon, így várhatók újabb fészkelések is.

He visited the ponds at around midday and found a summer plumaged Pectoral Sandpiper on the drained pond. I could go there a bit later but finally I found the bird while feeding on the mudflat. In 1993 I found 3 birds together on another pond within the Ferencmajor fishponds.

The situation was not much different from yesterday. I share you the changes only:

Black Stork 1
Pied Avocet 14 (on two little island 7 birds were sitting on the mud for most probably incubating)
Common Greenshank 1
Sanderling 1 ad full breeding plumage
Little Stint 12
Curlew Sandpiper 1

Thanks Peter for the info.

Ma egy újabb ritkaságról kaptam hírt, mely szintén a mi területünkről származik. Csonka Péter egy nyári ruhás vándorpartfutót talált az egyik lecsapolt tavon. Körülbelül 40 perc múlva értem a tóhoz és sikerült megtalálnom a táplálkozó madarat. 1993-ban ugyanitt a Ferencmajorban 3 madarat találtam.

A tegnapi naphoz képest nem sok minden változott a 4-es tavon! Ezúttal csak a változásokat közlöm:

Fekete gólya 1
Gulipán 14 (két kisebb szigeten 7 madár ült)
Szürke cankó 1
Fenyérfutó 1 nászruhás
Apró partfutó 12
Sarlós partfutó 1

Due to my heavy pollen allergy I cannot spend too much time in the field. That was the main reason why I posted anything since weeks. Finally we have checked a few ponds. As the weather has been extremely hot since some days the birds were rather quiet. 

On the unflooded lake more Pied Avocets formed a small breeding colony on a little mudflat. Although I did not see other Avocets incubating there could be about 7 breeding pairs nesting now on the lake. Other breeding shorebirds here include Little Ringed Plover, Northern Lapwing and Common Redshank. Shorebirds and other interesting species seen as follows:

Eurasian Spoonbill 4
White Stork 2
Common Shelduck 1
Gadwal 6
Red-crested Pochard 4

Ma megpróbáltam kicsit több időt tölteni kint Szandrával a Ferencmajorban, de nem volt esélyem többre, mint egy óra. Az allergiám okán nem tudok sok időt mostanában terepen tölteni. Ez volt a másik oka annak, hogy az utóbbi időben nem tettem semmi hírt a blogba. Végül azért sikerült néhány tavat körbejárni. A napok óta tartó 30 fok körüli kánikulában a madarak meglehetősen csendben voltak.

A szárazon tartott 4-es tavon volt a legnagyobb mozgás, ahol a gulipánok újabb kisebb kolóniát hoztak létre egy kis iszapzátonyon. Bár a többi gulipánt nem láttam kotlani, ezekkel együtt 7 pár költ immár a tavon. Egyéb költő partimadár faj a tavon a bíbic, kis lile és a piroslábú cankó. A tavon látott egyéb érdekes fajok és a partimadarak mennyiségei:

As recently usual I went out with my children, Szandra and Dani. This excellent bird was found by one of our local birder, Norbert Riezing. He was waiting for us at the scene as the distance and the accesibility of the site is quite good from Tata via the highway.

The bird was among several Northern Lapwings on a wet part of a cornfield. Norbi, the founder, took several shots of the bird from a close distance. We could see it only in flight while calls were heard two times. Actually all the feature for a flying Black-winged Pratincole was recorded.

Other birds seen nearby included:
Northern Lapwing 8
Little Ringed Plover 2
Common Ringed Plover 4
Common Redshank 1
Dunlin 1

Thanks to Norbi for this cool species.

••••••

Az esti órákban kaptam egy sms hírt, hogy feketeszárnyú székicsér van Nagyigmánd mellett. Mint mostanában szokássá vált a gyerekeimmel mentem megnézni ezt a ritkaságot. A madarat Riezing Norbert találta botanikai felmérés közben. A helyszínen megvárt minket, mivel viszonylag gyorsan oda tudtam érni a helyszínre.

A madarat kis keresgélés után bíbicek között röpülve vettük észre egy belvizes folt felett. Norbi korábban már közelről fotózta a sétáló madarat. Röptében minden fontos bélyegét láthattuk. Röptében többször szólt is.

Egyéb megfigyelt fajok a belvizeken:
Bíbic 8
Kis lile 2
Parti lile 4
Piroslábú cankó 1
Havasi partfutó 1
