Field Notes

Description:

The hoopoe has broad and rounded wings capable of strong flight; these are larger in the northern migratory subspecies. The hoopoe has a characteristic undulating flight, which is like that of a giant butterfly, caused by the wings half closing at the end of each beat or short sequence of beats

Habitat:

Hoopoes have been known to breed north of their European range,[8] and in southern England during warm, dry summers that provide plenty of grasshoppers and similar insects

Notes:

it's great to watch the hoopoe searching for food in the ground and get different type of insects
