Description
Budby is the largest area of historic heathland in the Midlands, blended with ancient woodland. Lappantyú, Erdei pacsirta and Erdei pityer make the most of the heath through summer. In winter, Keresztcsoru and flocks of Csíz flit through the remnant pines and birch trees. Other birds you can see here are Kis fakopáncs, Citromsármány, Erdei szalonka, sárgafejű királyka, Macskabagoly, Réti fülesbagoly, Egerészölyv and vörös vércse.
