Valeria Strunnikova, Thank you. It's very interesting to watch how he doesn't stick it in, but twists his beak into the ground and, using the same circular motion, pulls out a worm

I only saw Udotovs as a child, in Georgia. I really liked them, and I still do...
Nice photo!

Vakhtang Bartaia, They've become less common lately. You can see them in city parks where the lawns are being watered. Thanks

Wow, that's great, that's fantastic! What a beautiful bird! I can only dream of meeting a hoopoe! I was looking online to see if anyone had seen one around here... I think so, so I'm hoping for luck too. What if!

We once had a dacha on the Volga near Sviyazhsk. Hoopoes lived there and weren't even afraid to pick worms from underfoot. When you pour hot potatoes onto the ground, the worms jump out of the ground themselves.

I actually recommended your hoopoe by accident. You didn't have to reciprocate. Thanks, and sorry if that's the case.

Pablo Ko., This is another opportunity to get acquainted with the work of a new author. I don't check out new works every day. And thanks for checking out my own.

Svetlana Shapiro, I wish you creative success! And don't overuse the artificial blur.

Pablo Ko., What makes you think this is artificial blur? Any telephoto lens, even at f/8.0, will blur the background out of proportion. And this one works at f/5.6. Learn the ropes, you "guru"!

Pablo Ko., what makes you think this is artificial blur? Any telephoto lens, even at f/8.0, blurs the background completely. And this one works at f/5.6. Learn the ropes, our "guru"!
Alex Kantsur, so these things don't bother you: View crop - to the right and left of the beak. View crop around the blades of grass. And so on.

Your ropes are fine, of course, but it's best to take off your sunglasses before giving advice and ironic nicknames.

You're certainly doing a good job with the material, but it's better to take off your sunglasses before giving advice and ironic nicknames.
Pablo Ko., "these moments" don't bother you because they're in the blur zone. You should have also shown the tail. The author, as expected, focused on the bird's eye, and the beak, sorry, not everyone has a snub nose. 🤪

Alex Kantsur, I understand. With you, basically...you don't have to continue.
