This is a continuation of the series of posts about our trip to Europe, posted automatically. By this time I will be in Long Point attending the Young Ornithologist Workshop.
This post is a continuation from the last post about our first day in Hortobagy National Park. We took a small boat tour out onto Tisza lake and through little rivers and channels into a heron and cormorant nesting ground.
Around every corner there were herons and egrets. Some of the types we saw was Grey Heron, Black-crowned Night Heron, Squacco Heron, Great Egret, Little Egret, and Purple Heron. Tonnes of all of them!

There were also many, many Whiskered Terns which darted around through the air and dove to the water, making themselves extremely difficult to photograph.

Overall it was a very successful and extremely fun day. To see the many different types of herons and egrets in their natural habitat was very special.
