ARCHIVED - Striking hoopoe a rewarding sight in Murcia
Look out for this long-billed beauty, with its distinctive crest and hooting song, in Murcia this winter

There’s nothing quite like a stroll in the Spanish countryside on a winter’s morning and finding the wealth of natural beauty it has to offer, from pretty plants to majestic sunrises to beautiful birds.
And there are few birds more photogenic in the Murcia Region than the hoopoe, with its hooting song that it's surely named after and its distinctive striped crest on top of its head.
If you see a hoopoe this season, get in touch with us – we’d love to see your pictures!
