Chinese Tartar j. I found it common in Ladakli. Often seen on 
trees. Its cry resembles the words hoo-lioo. The Drongo Shrike 
(JDicrurus longicaudatus, Hay) is its frequent tormentor. On the 
fine grassy glades in the valley of Cashmere, the Hoopoe may be seen 
digging its long bill into the soft turf in quest of insects ; and just 
as its labour is nearly done, down pounces the Drongo Shrike to 
secure the fruits of its toil." — (Dr. A. L. Adams, Notes, P. Z. S. 
(1858), p. .) 
" In Nepal, the Hoopoe is a familiar tenant of our lawn from 
September till May ; but is never seen in Nepal proper during the 
hot and rainy months." — (Hodgson, Asiat. Ees. XIX. p. 185.)
