Snettisham never ceases to amaze me! No matter which season I visit this spectacular place, it never disappoints! Today my Hungarian friend, Attila Seprényi (who’s living in Sweden) picked me up early in the morning and we drove to North Nortfolk for a day long birding. We got to the Snettisham RSPB Reserve still inContinueContinue reading “Orange feet among pink feet”

Frampton Marsh visit
It’s been a busy weekend with the BirdFair at Rutland Water, but birding somehow wasn’t on the priority list. As expected, by Sunday afternoon I couldn’t stay indoor anymore, so I decided to explore another new coastal birding site. We visited the RSPB Frampton Marsh in Lincolnshire.Only a part of this vast area is accessible, but itContinueContinue reading “Frampton Marsh visit”
A bitter taste conclusion
I don’t consider myself a big ‘give-uper’, but sometimes I just can’t figure out what step would be necessary to move forward. Today I made a decision to stop working on the WorldWaders News Blog. I don’t feel good at all as it was my child and my passion at the same time. A bit moreContinueContinue reading “A bitter taste conclusion”
Snettisham Shorebird Paradise
It’s been a while since I posted anything in my personal blog. This is mainly due to the lots of things I had to do with the getting up of the World Shorebirds’ Day. Another reason of my absence was the lack of birding activity worth to mention. After a stressful week at work, IContinueContinue reading “Snettisham Shorebird Paradise”
Coastal waders with a non-wader lifer
I should have prepared more carefully my moving to England. I still cannot explain myself why I did move to an almost wader neutral area of the United Kingdom. After dropping my daughter off at the airport I decided to visit the closest coastline to treat myself with wader watching. Following Chris Baines, local birder’sContinueContinue reading “Coastal waders with a non-wader lifer”
My photo for a cover
It is a great feeling to see our own image on a cover of a magazine or a bulletin. The International Wader Study Group has just published the latest issue of the WSG Bulletin with my image of a Collared Pratincole on its cover. This is the original image published on 500px.com.
The spectacular Norfolk
After a successful business event on Saturday it was a gift to spend a whole day with my Hungarian friend, Attila Seprényi, around the northern coastline of Norfolk. He’s also a wader fan, living in Sweden, but been on a training here in the UK for a few weeks. I haven’t met him for aboutContinueContinue reading “The spectacular Norfolk”
Botulism at the Ferencmajor fishponds
The affected pond number 3. © György Szimuly I happily departed for a nice afternoon birding to the Ferencmajor fishponds, my local birding site but the happiness turned into nightmare quite soon. On the long drained pond number 3 I found several dead birds. I first thought the local fishermen shot them to save fishesContinueContinue reading “Botulism at the Ferencmajor fishponds”
The rare superciliaris subspecies of Western Yellow Wagtail was found
This evening I made a short trip to a nearby gravel pit where nice number of shorebir species bred last year. The water level is lower than last year resulting more islands for breeding. I was surprised by the number of Pied Avocets and Black-winged Stilts which apparently started to breed. The most interesting recordContinueContinue reading “The rare superciliaris subspecies of Western Yellow Wagtail was found”
