De hop is gemakkelijk te herkennen aan het roodbruine verenkleed met een lange zwart gepunte kuif, die kan worden opgezet als de vogel opgewonden is. De staart en de vleugels zijn zwart en getekend met brede witte strepen. De snavel is lang en dun. Een opvallende eigenschap is de uitgesproken stank die het dier verspreidt omdat enerzijds het nest nooit wordt schoongemaakt (voedselafval en mest blijven achter) en anderzijds omdat het vrouwtje een klier heeft aan de basis van haar staart, die tijdens de broedtijd een zware stank verspreidt. Een bijnaam voor de hop is dan ook drekhaan. De hop is een insectenetende weidevogel. De roep van de hop klinkt als hoep, hoep, en hoewel het geluid niet luid is, is het toch op grote afstand hoorbaar. De lichaamslengte bedraagt 26 tot 28 cm[2] en het gewicht 75 gram. Wikipedia

The hop picking season has commenced here in the Tasman area of the South Island New Zealand. An important ingredient in beer.
The birds were out to help us asses the damage from the ice storm. The woodpeckers were very interested in all of the broken limbs. ;-)
“Tired of me already, are you? It’s only been a few days. I must be loosing my touch.”
“Ha, ha, ya not funny,” Rya responded as she continued looking down the railroad tracks. She had been at the station for the last two hours and there was still no sign of the train. With the lack of people on the platform she was beginning to think that the train wasn’t scheduled to come today at all. A small frown came over her lips and she turned around to look at him suspiciously. “How’dya find me? And how’d you get out the house?”

No, not hopping around. Hop flowers growing on an empty space between buildings in a housing estate.
Beim radeln durch die Hallertau, wo die Hopfenernte im vollen Gange war, lag der süße Duft überall in der Luft.
When cycling through the Hallertau, where the hop harvest was in full swing, the sweet smell was everywhere in the air.
Dad, I'm hopping mad!
"I can see that."
Where is all the snow? Is winter over already?
I hardly got to play in it at all. Life's not fair!
"I can think of a bright side. Remember how happy you
were a few days ago when all that snow fell? Well, just
think how happy you'll be once we get more."
I can be happy all over again!
"That's the idea."
And every time it snows I can be happy, even if it's
deep as me. If it snows every day for the whole winter
I can be happy the whole time!
"Ugh. Maybe less snow and more fun outside in what we
have will be as good?"
Okay, I can work with that. Now let's hop to it!

Although I like the previous image more, this one still has quite a lot of merit to it. I like the wave covering the entire bottom 3rd of the frame, as well as the bird naturally in the top left corner. The wings were clipped in other images in the series but are intact here, not to mention the legs kicking the water.
Been focused on other projects but will probably return and search for more White-eyed gulls soon.
