Hello Rathika,
Great you have this one so close...
This species like the ground; such a bill:-)
Saw it a few times during my South Africa trip but could not make a good picture of it.
You did it.
Well done. Like it a lot!

Hello Rathika,
One of my favourite birds again, here in a fine close-up showing sharp details and lovely colours. A very nice profile, he seems to be looking at you. Well done!
TFS and regards, Ulla

Hello Rathika,
You captured a very nice expression from this funny and strange bird to me :) Details, composition, exposure and POV are very good. This bird has the funniest names of all :)

Hi Rathika,
A beautiful capture!
I like so much the focus on the bird's eye, its pose with the slightly tilted head and the lighting on it.
Details got on the feathers are magnificent, as well as its patterns.
My compliments and thanks for share it.
Best regards,
JM

Hi Rathika,

This has to be one of my favorite birds even though I have only seen one for real once. Wonderful shot of the Hoopoe in a marvelous pose. Excellent colors and details. I love that crest and the beak.

Radz, Looks like over the years of shooting you are getting closer to the birds and the birds are getting closer to you. Otherwise I cannot imagine a full frame shot of Hoopoe without a hide.
