Description: | The hoopoe is a brightly coloured and highly distinctive bird native to most of Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia as far east as India. It's a common sight in and around towns and cities throughout much of this area, often nesting in gardens. In Britain it's a rare visitor but has been known to breed here in the past. Normally the large crest is held flat against its head, but it is erected whenever the bird is alarmed. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East animals natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
