There was a simultaneous count of gathering Red-footed Falcons conducted at the end of September in Hungary and Transylvania, Romania. It resulted in a record number of specimens in the Carpathian Basin and a record of specimens sleeping at one sight.

Members of the Red-footed Falcon project counted 5800 specimens in the Carpathian Basin and there were 1800 birds gathering at a single roosting site!

Since then most of the birds migrated south to Africa. The best way to see them is to join our Best Birding in Hungary tour in the spring or if you want to see flocks of Red-footed Falcons before migration then join the Raptor Special tour.
