Thanks to Señor Hoopoe's skipping a few Geography classes, I'm the beneficiary!

Love that bird! We do have some festivals here in the Seattle area. Music and food fests are popular...
The shots of the exotic little bird are very beautiful. My favorites are 2 and 4.
The event-pictures are great and interesting.
Happy evening, Wieczora (◔‿◔) | my photoblog

I haven't ever see that bird before. How interesting the beak is so long and narrow. We have parades, festivals and food fests.

I am sure the beautiful bird will enjoy visits to you. The countries around the world celebrate some very strange customs at times
Wow, the bird that should be in Morocco is gorgeous, thank goodness his geography is a little out and you can enjoy!

We have the Sundance Film Festival and some of the people who come out from Hollywood are a little weird looking!
Great photos!
Wow. The Spanish people sure know how to party.
What an interesting bird. We don't have anything like that here. Enjoy all your festivals!
Amazing photos... lovely party...I hope you've enjoyed it...
It looks like a very noisy festival. I have never seen any bird that looks like that.
What a fun time at the festivals! The bird is beautiful, I wish I could see one someday. Lovely series of photos. Enjoy your weekend!
Really like the bird. Nice post.
Thank you. Love love, Andrew. Bye.
Crazy fun shots!
The Hoope looks cool with its crown.
Enjoyed seeing the festival shots!
What a bird! What a sighting!

What a magnificent bird! and thanks for all the festival images! Have awonderful day! OLE!
Amazing shots of birds and festivals.
The bird is gorgeous. We have a lot of festivals here too, but I don't think any of them are as fun as the ones you showed. Happy weekend!
That os a great looking bird! The plume t the back of his head makes him look as if in motion - while standing still :)
As for holidays in España, we in the US are quite staid in our approach - no tomatoes in sight here!
I wasn't necessarily expecting the Spanish Inquisition, like it appears at first glance here. Nobody does...
LOVE that bird! Linky is now working if you want to try again to connect on my blog. Thanks for sharing the love up-close with I Heart Macro:-)
Like a fiesta itself this little Hoopoe!
I have experienced Easter in Andalucia. Indeed fascinating!
Hi Lola,
That is one unique bird; I've never seen one like that before today. Thanks for showing some blue sky.
Happy Blue Monday!
wonderful pictures of this little birdie...
Beautiful birds! But some of the fiestas you are showing look gruesome! Have a wonderful week:)
What a welcome little visitor and quite a display he gave you. Hope he gets his bearings and finds his way home.
Gorgeous bird!
We used to have Hoopoe's come into our garden when we lived in Qatar in the Middle East. They always caused a stir with their fantastic plummage.
Great photos...thanks for sharing ;D

Now that is an exotic bird.
Gorgeous festivals in your roundup, thank you! :-)
Hoopoes are also living in Austria, such beautiful birds!
Such Fun ... I need to go there. We are having Mardi Gras down here. I'm glad I did not go ...for the weather is the most crappy...LOL... Cold... wet and sleet. I need to be in Spain...that's for sure!!!
