Eurasian Hoopoe Photography

Photography holidays in Hungary, Spain

The Eurasian Hoopoe, with its unmistakable crest and striking black-and-white wing pattern, is a favourite among photographers who join NaturesLens holidays, and it rewards patience and the right hide setup more than any amount of chasing. Working from purpose-built hides brings you close enough to capture the fine detail of its plumage and behaviour without causing disturbance, making for some genuinely memorable frames.

Where NaturesLens Photographs the Eurasian Hoopoe

NaturesLens runs dedicated Hoopoe photography holidays in Hungary and Spain, giving photographers two distinct settings in which to work with this species. In Hungary, the Wildlife Photography Hides of Hungary trip makes use of Bence Máté's renowned hides around Pusztaszer, while in Spain the Birdlife of Northern Spain holiday visits Cantalejo. These trips are typically scheduled for April and June, timing that suits the hides and locations NaturesLens has chosen to work with.
