Notes: What's This?
Release site was either at Lake Konder or Lake Peteri - both are within Kiskunsag National Park. A total of 52 birds were released between 1986 and 1988, with more being released in 1991. There is no information, however, on the 1991 release and it is not included in the ARTD. Releases were listed as not successful. There was difficulty supplying birds for reintroduction b/c of low hatching success with the breeding program at the source facility. Lake Konder also dried out so birds had to be recaptured. Birds disappeared w/i 2 months of release- assumed that release site was inappropriate & that the population is gone.
