A fabulous bird to get, and what a splendid shot you have taken too. Really close, and with great detail. Congratulations Francesca!
 
I am so envious. I would love to see a Hoopoe. A stunning detailed capture. tfs.
 
fabulous job you did here with the details and the exposure, love this so much.

BTW my first Hoppoe shot was only last October, as much as i get in my region but i was never able to get a shot for them.
