HOOPOE! 🐥 for #birbsday

My longest lens is only 250mm so this was me trying to sneak up on a Hoopoe in the park. I am 6'2/187cm. I am not built for sneaking LMAOOOO - so this is as close as I could get. 😂✨

Jay! #jay ~~Hoopoe! #hoopoe~~
Fßr mich eine kleine Sensation: Wiedehopf auf den Obstwiesen in meiner Nähe! Durchzßgler...
Da bin ich einmal nicht den gewohnten Weg gegangen - und schon sitzt was Spannendes weit weg. Der gewohnte Weg wäre näher am Baum gewesen...

Surprise, surprise: A hoopoe in the meadows near the place I live! Migrant for sure...
I took a different way than usual - and of course the interesting thing is far away. The usual way would have brought me much nearer...

Today I heard and saw a #Hoopoe and a #BlackWoodpecker.

The hoopoe is an iconic and unmistakable bird. Its soft, rhythmic “oop-oop-oop” leaves no doubt—it’s nearby, quietly foraging. It probes the ground for insects, though it won’t pass up small reptiles, frogs, seeds, or berries. Our early morning wake up call now!
