First day in Budapest

We spent today finding our feet in Budapest.  We used the 'hop on hop off' bus that we had pre-booked, although we have learnt this is not the best way to get around the city.  We stopped off at Gellert Hill to take in the view and have mooch about for some birds.

We saw Hooded Crow (these seem very abundant), Great Spotted Woodpecker and Greenfinch.  We wanted to nail Syrian WP today but didn't manage it.  We walked to the nearest bus stop and traveled to Margit Island where we got our best ever views of Hawfinch.  They were plentiful and showed very well in the travel scope.  The light became quite poor after 15:30 so we headed back.  Not a long species list for us today but the birds in this city are plentiful even in the dense city centre.  Now we have our bearings I'm hoping for a more productive day tomorrow.
