The hoopoe bird that everyone is looking for him thousands of times#Bird watching##Wild bird photography##hoopoe##Woodpecker#
In the past two days, the cold snap has hit, and the weather is either rainy or rainy and snowy, so I can only nest at home and just get the pictures and texts of the official account.
Originally, I thought that in the past two days, I would count all the wild ducks in the book of birdie encounters all the way west, but there were too many ducks, and most of them were similar, and there were several kinds of ducks in one picture, which was really time-consuming and laborious.
Today, let's put the wild duck in the first place, and write a picture of a hoopoe that is relatively easy to find.
The hoopoe is very common, and when the old cow was not keen on shooting birds in the past few years, it can often be encountered while walking. Sometimes the distance is very close, and you can even use your mobile phone to take pictures of hoopoe birds, although it is not clear enough, but for the old cow at that time, it is enough to make yourself beautiful for many days.
But at that time, the old cow always thought that the hoopoe was the legendary woodpecker. You see the phoenix crown hairstyle on the hoopoe's head, coupled with the hoopoe's slender pointed beak, which is very much in line with the image of a woodpecker in many people's minds. Many people think that this woodpecker archetype may come from a childhood textbook or some encyclopedia or other illustrations, or from a cartoon. No matter how it came about, I believe that many people, like the old cow in the past, believe that the hoopoe is a woodpecker.
The hoopoe is certainly not a woodpecker, although when it forages for food, it keeps pecking at the soil under the grass like a chicken pecking rice, and has a fight with a woodpecker pecking at trees, but the hoopoe's beak is not so hard and will not peck at wood. The hoopoe will not peck at the otherwise intact wood like a woodpecker, so that the tree will shed sap and attract insects to feed for food.
The hoopoe forages for food in the humus under the grass to find all kinds of insects, so the hoopoe is always smelly, and people in many places call the hoopoe "stinky aunt", because of the hoopoe's special foraging habits.
After Lao Niu fell in love with birds, he often deliberately went to find a hoopoe near his home for a period of time, wanting to take a beautiful photo of it to replace the unsatisfactory hoopoe pictures taken by his mobile phone before.
As a result, it backfired, and the more I made a special trip to find the hoopoe, the more the shadow of the hoopoe could not be seen. However, there is no intention to plant flowers and flowers, and there is no intention to plant willows and willows into the shade, in the process of looking for hoopoes, but I happened to encounter many other beautiful birds, which can be regarded as a lost corner and harvested mulberry elm.
Later, when Lao Niu went to Dongdahe Wetland Park to shoot the bitter bird courtship, he met a hoopoe mother with a pair of children out to forage, that time was really the biggest harvest of Lao Niu in Dongdahe over the years, not only photographed the rare bitter bird courtship, but also took a picture of the hoopoe parent bird feeding the chicks, see Lao Niu's "Surprise Dongdahe Wetland" and "I am a hoopoe, not a woodpecker" and "The bird world gnaws the old family hoopoe".
After this trip to the Dongdahe to shoot birds, Lao Niu no longer remembered the hoopoe, after all, he had taken a very wonderful picture of the hoopoe. People are like this, no matter how much they once thought about it, once they have it, they no longer have any attraction, they like the new and hate the old, and it is normal for people to like the new.
Strange to say, since then, Lao Niu can often meet hoopoes. Even if they meet, Lao Niu often has no interest and doesn't want to photograph it. But what's even more strange is that these hoopoes, which no longer have any attraction to the old cow, are often very close to the old cow, and even have a better background, so in comparison, it is also worth taking a photo, so that their hoopoe beauty has a more perfect updated version.
It is said that bird watching tastes life, which makes Lao Niu seem to have some understanding. Be a person and do things, don't be too persistent, work your own efforts, wait for the flowers to bloom, perhaps, success is at the next corner.
When I think of a favorite poem when I was young, it seems to be very appropriate: Last night, the west wind withered the green trees, went up to the tall building alone, and looked at the end of the world. The belt gradually widened and did not regret it, and it made people haggard for Yi. The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the man was there, and the lights were dim.
