very nice, they're superb looking birds. It's a shame the background competes slightly but a very nice pose and great to get it with an insect in its beak.

I love hoopoes, getting with prey too is a bonus!

Very nice capture, superb plumage. As already mentioned, the BG is competing a tad. But otherwise a minor nit. :toast: :toast: :toast:

Great detail for a handheld 600mm, my results would be in wobbly vision if I tried to do that.
