If you live in my part of the world a Hoopoe is an extremely rare and welcome sighting. Beautifully taken image of this stunning bird.

A lovely shot. I saw one on the ground in Jaipur last March, but, by the time the camera was up, it was gone. Sad

A lovely Hoopoe, Paul.
I saw one in Lanzarote a few years back.
Thanks for the PM by the way.
