Spotted by
A distinctive medium-sized bird with a striking crest, known for its pinkish-brown plumage and zebra-striped wings. Its peculiar 'hoo-poo-poo' call gives it its common name.
Where to spot
Widespread across Eurasia and Africa, found in open woodlands, grasslands, orchards, and farmland with scattered trees.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive undulating flight. Listen for its characteristic 'hoo-poo-poo' call. They often forage on the ground, probing for insects with their long, slender bill.
When to spot
Primarily during breeding season (spring/summer) in temperate regions, or year-round in warmer parts of its range. Migratory populations are best seen during migration periods.
