The Eurasian Hoopoe is a passage migrant in both spring and autumn to my Island of Malta in the middle of the Mediterranean sea. It is not a large bird only 9 to 10 inches long but has a wing-span of 30 inches. The crest which it raises when alarmed makes it very photogenic. When in flight the black and white striped wings makes it very conspicuous. The curved bill helps it to prod into the soil to extract insects. Photographed with Canon 5D and 500mm telephoto at f11, ASA 400 speed 200. #1705692

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
