A Guide to Birdwatching in Hungary

A GUIDE TO BIRDWATCHING IN HUNGARY (Corvina, Budapest) was published in 1991 and was the result of 5 years research by author Gerard Gorman. This is a site guide and was the first book of its kind not only on Hungary but to any Eastern European country. Though pocket sized it has 95 pages packed with information on 24 of the best birding sites in Hungary. The country is divided into three convenient geographical zones (Transdanubia, the Great Plain, Budapest & the Northern Hills) and there are details on site location, directions, bird species, status and seasonal differences for each site. There is also a bird check-list and a useful dictionary of bird names in English, scientific name and Hungarian, numerous maps and black and white drawings of some key species. This excellent pocketbook is of great help for the foreign birdwatcher and ornithologist who visits Hungary. M.D.F.Udvardy, The AUK.
