The Lesser White-fronted Geese have arrived to the Hortobagy. The traditional flock was sighted once again at the Hortobagy Fishponds. These birds form part of the scarce European population of Lesser White-fronts and arrive each September to the Hortobagy to spend at least a month here before migrating further south.

Lesser White-fronted Geese are observed through September to April in smaller numbers mixed in flocks of Great White-fronts but those are probably from the Siberian population.

If you want to see these rare birds join us on our upcoming Crane spectacular tour.
