Great bustard male visiting relatives in Dóc

A male great bustard was spotted near a wintering crane (Grus grus - taxonomically relative to great bustards) flock on the agricultural fields of Dóc. This area is a Natura 2000 SPA, supervised by Kiskunság National Park Directorate (KNPI). Cranes are regular guests here in this time of the year, however it was not known as great bustard habitat. This data is significant for the efforts of Great Bustard LIFE project acivity mapping the metapopulation of great bustards in the Carpathian basin.
