Over the first few days during our holiday, we managed to see them fly over a couple of times. Once, when focusing on a couple of Iberian magpies I simply didn&#8217;t notice two hoopoes sitting about 10 meters in front of me and only noticed them when the flew away &#8211; and never came back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we moved to our final accommodation, I went out for a walk with my oldest son and that&#8217;s when one pretty hoopoe finally started foraging very nearby. He didn&#8217;t seem to be bother by me and my camera! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-effect=\"slide\"><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_container
