It is a very beautiful bird, rarely seen in Norway, but sometimes all the way up North to Finnmark. :heart_eyes: It is called hærfugl in Norwegian, or Bird of War, because in old folklore it was seen as an omen or harbinger of coming war.

the hoopoe is mainly distributed in southern Europe, especially in Spain and Portugal where the largest populations are found. It is also present in small numbers throughout other countries in Europe. It likes heat and dry climates. It's a migratory bird, which will begin to return to Africa from late August.

"Abubilla" is his most common name in Spanish. It is a really eye-catching bird that I saw continuously in my childhood when I was walking in the countryside. It's been years since I've seen any...

I could not remember 'Eurasian Hoopoe' and thought 'European Whoopee Cushion' must be wrong and came back here to find out. I was right, European Whoopee Cushion was wrong.
