But very happy for you :) It was thrilling to see your photos. A step closer to a Hoopoe than seeing them in a book. Now, I must try to catch up with your post enough to figure out what conference you were attending.

What an interesting bird and how great to find it in such an unexpected place.<br />I understand that feeling... though my find (which I will be posting next week) is not a bird that I would never have the hope of seeing. It is one I have only ever seen in photos, and I thought I might have to travel to north QLD to find.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17541748309832254889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613882486442283643.post-15379077693820605182012-11-15T18:24:30.064+11:002012-11-15T18:24:30.064+11:00Adorable and interesting little bird.

I can do that too. I haven't even seen it in photos. When we did the Desert Safari in Dubai, they said Omman is just 30min away!
