Awesome to behold, with its ornate crest raised
Actively moving, searching and foraging
Can you still see me now?
Hoopoe bird recognizing that I am nearby
The end of the UAE Summer season beckons the explorer and adventurer to go back into the mountains, wadis and desert areas. The cooler weather also leads to more activity and potential encounters with insects, mammals, reptiles and birds. Among the diverse species of birds I truly enjoy encountering is the awesome cinnamon colored and graciously adorned Hoopoe Bird. This early morning visit at the Wadi Shawkha in Ras Al Khaimah was truly wonderful. The bird allowed me sufficient time to get up close and personal and take the shots. Truly glad that it was very reluctant to fly away from me as I was following it among the pile of rocks and branches. Truly enjoyed this close Hoopoe encounter!
EURASIAN HOOPOE, Upupa epops (AVES: Upupidae)
