Call of the Eurasian Hoopoe (Upupa epops)

My first Hoopoe in the Kaiserstuhl area in Germany.
You can hear them regularly in that area, and you even can see the Hoopoe in the distance.
It was a long walk in the Kaiserstuhl area and almost without luck, until, finally one sat down
on a post close to us calling. We were so lucky.

Thanks for sharing this with us.

I must say, it sounds all the world like morse code being transmitted on amateur radio. A series of "i" & "s."
