Helmet vanga Photography
The helmet vanga is one of Madagascar's most striking endemic birds, its oversized cobalt-blue bill making it an unmistakable and hugely rewarding subject for photographers. On a NaturesLens holiday, patient fieldcraft in the island's forest habitats gives photographers the chance to capture this distinctive species going about its business in the rainforest canopy and undergrowth. It's exactly the kind of encounter that makes Madagascar such a special destination for bird photography.
Where NaturesLens Photographs the Helmet vanga
NaturesLens runs its Madagascar Wildlife & Rainforest holiday to seek out the helmet vanga, travelling through a route that takes in Antananarivo, Andasibe, Maroantsetra, Masoala National Park, Nosy Mangabe, Morondava and Kirindy Forest. Between these varied forest sites, photographers have a good range of opportunities to track down the species across the trip. NaturesLens schedules this holiday for November, timing the visit to make the most of these locations.
