This Hoopoe ......
Stands around listening for a minute or two....
Then it sticks its beak in to the soil and probes around for a tasty snack
Then when it finds something (this was a leatherjacket - a crane fly larvae) they stab it a couple of times and clean it up then throw it in the air and swallow it!
And every so often ... you stretch and flick your crest up!!
