The Hoopoe is a bizarre creation with crazy black and white banding across its wings and tail, an eccentric black-tipped crest, long, down-curved bill and an orange coloured body. Its dramatic plumage is best seen when the bird flies with floppy, rounded, fingered wings, flicking like a big moth.

Breeds in parks, orchards, copses and gardens.

Fantastic shot. I saw one in India and was so amazed at its appearance that I waited too long to get a shot of it. This one is beautiful.

Salut Alper
Sorry I missed this one in May but I have seen it now! A truly spectacular shot of one of my favourite birds. We are lucky enough to get them in our garden. I have tried many times to get a photo but have never managed to get such a clear beautifully crisp shot as this. Just fabulous!
