An excellent photo of the sunning bird.
Rookery.

Surperb shot great colours and detail top post thanks.

WOW what a shot - just terrific Helios :t::t::t:

What a fabulous image. What do you think he's doing? What was the setting. I didn't even know they were present in Mallorca?

Also wondered what it was up to, when we were in Mallorca last month managed to see some as well and in fact one was doing this.

Great capture

Either an anti-predator response from an overhead raptor, or it's sunbathing (HBW & BWP). Personally I think its sunbathing!

Superb shot of a Hoopoe.
