Saw my first and only Hoopoe in Italy…I was breath-taken and had no idea what I was looking at…Google-searched key words for multiple minutes before I could identify it!!

Yes, they are an odd bird! Especially in flight - very distinctive. Our local shrikes used to skewer their prey on barbed wire - was also fascinating to see that.

That is fascinating…didn’t know that!!
