Fotorejse med Scanbird

Kære turinteresseret
Fotorejse med Scanbird
Det er med stor fornøjelse, at Scanbird kan tilbyde fuglefotografer specielle
rejser, hvor der især bliver fokuseret på fotografering af fugle og natur.
Rejserne til Rumænien og Ungarn giver Jer mulighed for at kommer til at sidde
i skjul og få fine billeder af mange af Sydøst-Europas specialiteter.
For at giver Jer det bedste fotografiske udbytte kan der kun være 4-6 personer
på hver rejse. Derfor er denne rejseform også lidt dyrere end traditionelle
fuglerejser, hvor gruppe størrelsen er betydelig større.
Rejserne arrangeres uden rejseleder fra Scanbird, men lokale guider vil møde
Jer i lufthavnen og tage sig godt af Jer under rejsen.
Turene til Rumænien og Ungarn er meget efterspurgte, og derfor kan Scanbird
først få pladser i 2013. Dog kun hvis rejserne bestilles før april 2012.
Derfor vil jeg bede alle, som er interesseret i en rejse, om at kontakte Scanbird
hurtigst muligt. Herefter vil vi se, om der er interesse nok til at reservere en
rejse i 2013.
God fornøjelse med programmet

HORTOBÁGY NATIONAL PARK
High bird diversity and high hide disparity. This is a fantastic tour to photograph some rare and localised
Eastern European bird species in our sophisticated nature inbuilt hide network installed in the wellknown
Hortobágy National Park.
Timing:
Fixed dates but also available upon request
Recommended period between 20th April and 20th July
Duration:
7 days (6 nights)
Photo hides and species:
We have five full days for photography allowing ten different photo sessions (five mornings and five
afternoons). We will use minimum four different hides which will give you an opportunity to have two
sessions in each hide plus a return to the most preferred one. Or, alternatively, you can choose to try a
fifth hide.
We can visit the „Pygmy Cormorant Hide” which is located in deeper water and is suitable to take
photos of fish-eating birds and ducks (Pygmy Cormorant, Spoonbill, Ferruginous Duck etc.). We will
also use the „Reedbed Hide”, which is good for skulking reedbirds as well as for herons and egrets. Our
prime target will be Little Crake and Night Heron but Water Rail, Little Bittern and various passerines
such as Bearded Tit also possible. Another hide we will use is the „Red-footed Falcon Tower”, which
gives an intimate insight into the private life of these magnificent raptors. Our visits to the „Passerine
Drinking Hide” vary greatly but provided weather conditions are adequate many sought-after species
are possible (Middle-Spotted Woodpecker, Collared Flycatcher, Hawfinch etc.). In early April we offer
the „Great Bustard Hide” Also if we have time we might visit one of our “Mobile Hides” or spend some
time with photographing herons and egrets in flight. We have a “Mobile Hide” for Roller and a
“Shorebird Hide” for waterbirds (mainly waders and egrets) plus anything interesting in that particular
year!
Upon request we organize one day for „stalking photography” targeting any possible species available
in the area. For more information (available hides, comfort, hide technical information, bird species) visit
our hides menu item.

Logistics:
Our daily routine is to have two photo sessions a day. The morning session usually starts at ca. 04:00
and finishes at ca. 10:00. Then the photographers have lunch and a three-hour rest before going out on
the afternoon session to a different hide (15:00–20:00). At the Great Bustard Hide you have to stay in
the hide from 04:00 to 19:00 because the birds are very are very sensitive and once disturbed they can
abandon the display area.
Recommended equipment:
This tour will offer you very diverse photographing opportunities. Therefore, we suggest that you bring
along lenses from fish-eye and wide angle to 300mm and 500mm ones.
