Nice shots Christo...I love Hoopoe's ...I had them in my yard all the time in SA. I miss the beautiful birds from Africa...they are certainly not matched in their beauty here.
I also love your third shot.

Thank you for looking and commenting.
The Hoopoe is very difficult to photograph.Even this one while on the grass walked around.

Leona thank you for looking and commenting.
I had the camera on Aperture setting when capturing picture nr 3.Pushed the EV-setting to -1 on my Camera and this is the result.

I like the third shot. Is that a nuclear generating facility?

No just a coal fired power station and the tower you see in the picture is the cooling tower.
