Birdwatchers rejoice! A rare and incredible hoopoe bird was spotted right here at Royal Djurg\u00e5rden, which gave us at least something to feel positive about at the start of 2021!<\/p>\n
Hoopoes are colourful birds found across Europe, Africa and Asia, renowned for their distinctive feather ‘crown’.\u2060<\/p>\n
They aren’t usually found around here, though, with birdwatchers including Thomas Strid struggling to recall the last time a hoopoe was seen in Stockholm in the winter, let alone here at Royal Djurg\u00e5rden!<\/p>\n
He also says that there’s a chance we’ll spot one at Djurg\u00e5rden in the future, as they are likely drawn to Djurg\u00e5rden’s oak woodlands and open fields.<\/p>\n
This hoopoe was spotted outside the Police Museum, and we hope it comes to visit us again.<\/p>\n
