WILD BIRD WEDNESDAY - Malawi

 This Hoopoe I saw on one of my early morning walks with my daughter in Malawi.  It has been on the ground near the road but on seeing us approach, it flew high into this tree.  I am linking to Wild bird Wednesday.











Many thanks for visiting and also for leaving comments.

  1. Hi Margaret, that hoopoe looks larger than the African Hoopoe. Do you know if it's one or a Eurasian? We briefly saw the latter in Tanzania. Grant almost rode over one foraging in road this mmorning. Fortunately missed it! Have a great day. Jo

  4. Wow, I have never seen such a bird! Are they common there? I love the stripes on his wing, his long thin and curved bill, and his head crest!!
