HOOPOE by DARRYL STUBBS
Another bird ive finally got some photos of,although they could be better.Not sure where they originate from,but this hoopoe was in the desert part of paignton zoo.They have lovely colours and markings,and a crest that lifts up to look a bit like a mohican,and a curved beak.
