DSC_4319c.jpg

Huppe (hoopea) perched on our tv antenna, taken with tripod in good light, from about 10 meters. Next shot is detail of same bird. These birds emigrate and drop by our garden in the spring or early summer every year. Rare bird.

Saw 5 or 6 of these on th golf course at Dolce Fregate. Your picture helped me identify it.

We're from the USA visiting in Bedoin and we saw one this morning on our lawn. I had never seen anything like it before. What a thrill.

Great shot, we saw one in the road the other day, stopped right by it and it slowly walked away! V
