Russian Olive -
Russische Olijf
-
Elaeagnus angustifolius

Image ID:

Date: 
28/05/2013
Location: 
Hortobagy,
Hungary
Description: 

The Russian Olive is an introduced species in the Pannonian Steppe. This invasive species has become a serious pest in the alkaline and loess pusta of Hortobay, where it seems not to have much concurrence of other species. Nowadyas the Park Management is trying to controll the species and in some places, where the open character of the steppe is restored, the species is eradicated.
The image was taken with a low shutter speed on a very windy day.
