17.07.2007 - Ferencmajor fishponds, Naszály

Just a short walk at the lakes produced 3 adult Pygmy Cormorants and 4 Purple Herons in the late afternoon. 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. Molting Black Terns are also present.
