Descripción

Hortobágy National Park has the largest semi-natural grassland in Europe. With 800 km2 it is Hungary's largest protected area. The Old Fishponds are a 2000 hectare fishpond system that is located in the northern part of the national park. The fishpond system has been a nature reserve since the foundation of Hortobágy National Park in 1973. Its birdlife, including breeding and migrating species, is particularly valuable. In the last 35 years, nearly 300 species have been observed here.

You can see many species of ducks, geese, waders, herons, terns and other waterbirds including Avetoro Común, Avetorillo común, Cerceta Carretona, Porrón Pardo, Garcilla Cangrejera, Martinete Común, Carricero Tordal, Cormorán Pigmeo, Cigüeña Negra, Cigüeñuela común, Avoceta Común, Zarapito Real, Aguja Colinegra, Combatiente, Avefría Europea and Fumarel Cariblanco. The most spectacular event of the year is the autumn migration of Grulla Común. In October, up to 40 thousand Grulla Común roost simultaneously in the drained fishponds.
