Oh man, beautiful shot of the hoopoe! I'm from Egypt and have these birds everywhere! Can anyone say nostalgia!?

thank you, Gerardo, Ava and alice! :)

I think you're right about it eating insects, since they are it's main source of food. Lovely spotting.

it looks like the right place for me, but as always, I am too many other places too. But I think this will fascinate me enough so I will be coming back! :)
