Neither even makes their own nesting cavities; they use the abandoned holes of other woodpeckers. Until a month ago I had never seen the Eurasian Wryneck either, but the trip to Hungary took care of that gap on the life list easily. We visited Hortobágy National Park, the Bükk Hills and places in between.

Today, birders wanting to see this avian gem usually venture to the healthy populations of the Iberian peninsular or travel to Hungary. Walk to a small abandoned farm and keep on along the track, crossing a small canal via a small bridge (don’t worry about the gate) just after the farm.
