Hortobágyi Nemzeti Park Hortobágy, Petőfi tér 9, Debrecen, Hungary

On Hortobágy Eagle Day, organisers welcome visitors for a morning eagle ambush tour. The highly protected bald eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) is the largest bird of prey that nests in Hungary. The wingspan can exceed 2 metres and the weight of the egg can reach 4-5 kg.

The walking tour takes visitors to places where eagles are most likely to be seen during the day, with a pair of binoculars, can observe the eagles and with a bit of luck get a brief insight into their behaviour and feeding habits. Visitors can of course also learn about the winter wildlife in the ponds. Suitable clothing, waterproof shoes and binoculars are recommended.
