June is peak puffin season across two different coastlines, plus one of our best hide-based trips & a productive butterfly departure. Here’s what’s on.
Fair Isle or Grímsey: choosing a June puffin photography trip
Atlantic Puffins of Fair Isle & Puffins of Iceland both peak this month, with Arctic terns & arctic skuas alongside the puffins on either coastline. Fair Isle is the more remote, more intimate of the two; Grímsey trades that for Iceland’s midnight-sun light.

Why is June the best month for Hungary’s hide network?
Wildlife Photography Hides of Hungary is at its best in June, with common cuckoos, common kingfishers & Eurasian hoopoes all working the same hide network, peak breeding activity meaning constant movement in front of the lens.
Why is Bulgaria worth visiting for butterflies in June?
Bulgarian Butterfly Macro is one of the most productive butterfly trips we run anywhere this month, Adonis blue, Chapman’s blue & common blue all found in genuinely large numbers across Bulgaria’s meadows.
Which of these June trips should you choose?
Choose Fair Isle or Grímsey for peak-season puffin photography. Choose Hungary’s hide network for constant activity across cuckoos, kingfishers & hoopoes. Choose Bulgaria if butterfly macro at volume is what you’re after.
Seabirds on two different coastlines, a hide network at its most productive, & a meadow full of butterflies, June covers a lot of ground.
