Hoopoe

For anyone who has never seen a Hoopoe bird you are in for a treat. They are one of the strangest yet beautiful birds in their own way. When alarmed the crest on its head is raised and they fly off rapidly. The beak is designed with a crossed fingers type end to it in order to dig in soft soil for food. This one I found on a golf course to the dis-pleasure of the golfers.
