Cheers you guys and gals. I was pleased to get the bird considering the bad light and distance.

Nice to meet you today Richard.

The colour looks paler than our Hoopoe here in Thailand. Was it the lighting or the diferences in our weather?

We love Hoopoe, we have several of them visiting our garden every day.

Hi Ruchai

The bird was situated in a very dark shady area so the birds colour could have been affected.
