I first saw a hoopoe many years ago in Mongolia. They've always fascinated me, though, ever since I learned such strange and spectacular birds existed. This one appeared unexpectedly, close by, late in the evening, on a bank of the Jhellum River in Srinagar. I managed a few quick photographs before a small child scared it off.

EC, you should see them when they have that crest raised!
Zhoen, yes, stylish birds indeed.
Kia ora Robb. Most birds seem to look at home wherever they are, as long as they're not caged. I can learn a lot from that.
