What a fascinating subject! Great detail . If it were just a little bit lighter it would be even easier to see. Terrific composition too.

Wow - what a different bird and one with a funny name! Perhaps he makes that sort of sound! Great catch!

Really unusual bird. We're partnered together for get pushed this week. I love all your nature shots but thought your challenge should be something different so what about an abstract shot with strong lines or patterns. Does that work for you?

@rachelwitheyThanks that sounds fun.

What an interesting looking bird. I've never heard of a Hoopoe before. FAV We've both learned something new from each other's shots.

What an amazing looking bird, good capture

@rachelwithey I am so sorry that i did not take part. I only received my laptop yesterday after two weeks. I did have trouble with my internet. As usual nobody was to blame. Thanks anyway.
