Gábor Sĭmay

Gábor has been interested in nature since a young age, and during his studies at the University of Debrecen, he expanded his knowledge on birds.

Spending most of his time in the field, Gábor carried out research on ground-nesting birds in the Hortobágy National Park. In 2008, he began working for the park as a full time warden in the Bihar Plain area – his favourite birding spot. He is also a member and secretary to the Hungarian Rarity Committee, and frequently visits other parts of Hungary, such as the Carpathian Basin, to study the birdlife.
