Hungarian Butterfly & Dragonfly Tour

Wildlife: Butterfly & Dragonfly Tour with Birds, Mammals, Wildflowers

3 National Parks inHungary, 8 days

The butterfly list of Hungary contains almost 200 species and there are about 3400 moth species in the country. The dragonfly list has 65 species, including some really exciting rarities such as Common Winter Damselfly, Green-eyed Hook-tailed Dragonfly, White-faced and Bulbous White-faced Darter.

Our Hungary trip takes us to the best wildlife spots in the country, visiting 3 strikingly different areas. First we travel to the famous steppe or "puszta"of Kiskunság National Park, followed by the limestone hills of Bükk National Park and rolling country of Aggtelek National Park.

Nicer still lesser known than Hortobágy, the scenic Kiskunság  preserves the Westernmost parts of the once continuous Eurasian steppe with the biggest populations of Great Bustards, localized butterfly and moth species like Freyer's Purple Emperor, unique, endemic wildflowers such as Onosma arenaria, rare dragonflies like Spotted Darter or Lilypad Whiteface and interesting mammals like Souslik or Steppe Polecat.

On the other hand Bukk Hills is a fantastic place for many sought after owl & woodpecker species including Ural & Eagle Owl or White-backed & Black Woodpecker; the Southern slopes & valleys are one of the best butterfly habitats with amazing species from Poplar Admiral through Camberwell Beauty to Purple-shot Copper; Norfolk Hawker and Vagrant Darter.

In Aggtelek National Park we explore a mixture of habitats ranging from very dry hillsides to wet valleys. These areas boast a terrific list of butterflies and dragonflies andwe should be in for quite a treat. We expect to find many rare Eastern European species.
