I saw your picture on the "community" page, what I saw was this bird: so mysterious, I never saw one in reality. The upupa epops, a weird name that I never forget. In Eastern countries it's said to be a kings' messenger, in my country it's very rare. Thank you very much for this beautiful image!

Beautiful capture. Love how his/her feathers contrast with the grass. You are very lucky to have such visitors.

The woodpecker is looking very nice against a green background and the shallow DOF is serving well to bring the focus to the subject
