I echo tukayo's sentiments...we'll just have to vicariously experience the thrill of capturing the hoopoe.
Well done, Tina, for getting the "full" image of the bird!

Many thanks Bong. Got lucky with the capture of the "full bird". It was foraging on the ground when it suddenly decided to perch at that branch.
