Hoopoe – The Beauty, by Masudur Rahman

It was 11 am. I was walking at Faillatoli Beach in Chittagong, looking for shore bird to shot. Suddenly this Hoopoe landed in front of me. There was a flutter of black, white and orange, the most amazing, dazzling, exotic bird I’ve ever seen in the wild. I took few shots of this beautiful bird.
