Hoopoe (Upupa epops) is undoubtedly one of the most adorable eurasian birds that all birders love to see around Athens
The last years, Hoooes numbers are thriving in the city of Athens.

During the summer, birds can be encountered in parks, like Tritsis Park in the west suburbs, where they breed successful despite the high numbers of everyday visitors. So one can have very close views of the birds, like the ones we had on June 18th, during a half day birding trip around Athens.
