This is a good action shot of bird behavior. You may get comments about depth of field, but I think the blurred wing shows how the birds care for each other ‘on the fly’, and I like it!

This is a great action shot; we get hoopoes in Ireland as occasional summer visitors; they look very exotic when compared with the natives.

Real nice shot, the capture of these exotic birds must have been difficult. But you did it on the perfect time! I like birds, they’re also fun to watch. But this is not only fun, it’s also very beautiful! Good work!

Hoopoes look so beautiful, I’d love to see the entire body. Is this a mother & baby, or sharing buddies??
