Ebben az idõszakban jellemzõen kisfiókás korú, illetve nagyobb fiókákkal mozognak a tojók. Még mindig veszélyesek a mezõgazdasági munkák, mert sok fióka lelapul a veszély közeledtével, míg a tojó elmenekül.

Luca, where can You be?
2006.06.18.

Luca, the hen bustard equipped with a satellite transmitter in May, had a few days of recreation on a field nearby after the shock of being captured, and perhaps she took the case as an attack of a predator.

Nevertheless, after 3 days of staying, she left the place and wandered around the known sites of nesting and displaying, and then joined a flock of moulting birds. Great Bustard males gather together after the displaying period ends for the reason of changing their wonderful, imposing plumage. The hens start moulting a little bit later only in the period of growing up the chicks. There can be even 40-50 birds in a single flock in the moulting period.

Beforehand, satellite tracking was only used for surveying birds of prey in Hungary. Satellite tracking of Great Bustards is quite unique even in Europe, Luca is the first individual of Great Bustard which can be followed by satellite in Central Europe.
