European Bee-eater Photography
Few birds reward a long lens quite like the European Bee-eater, whose jewel-box colouring — turquoise, chestnut and gold — seems designed for photographers rather than camouflage. NaturesLens builds several holidays around this species, giving you the chance to work with birds perched on natural branches, hawking insects on the wing, or coming and going from nesting burrows, all from carefully positioned hides and vantage points that keep disturbance to a minimum.
Where NaturesLens Photographs the European Bee-eater
NaturesLens runs its European Bee-eater trips across Romania, Hungary and Spain, each offering a different flavour of encounter. In Romania, Birds of the Danube Delta takes in the Delta itself and the rocky terrain of Macin Mountain National Park, while Wildlife Photography Hides of Hungary makes use of Bence Máté's purpose-built hides and the wetland habitat around Pusztaszer. Birdlife of Northern Spain focuses on Cantalejo, another reliable spot for the species. These holidays are scheduled for April, May and June, when NaturesLens runs its bee-eater photography trips to these locations.
