I saw this hoopoe in Wood Lane when I went for a walk and a man stopped in a car and asked me whether I was going to see it. I didn't really know what a hoopoe looked like as they are not usually seen in UK but I thought it must be something really nice to see. Anyway, without further ado, when he invited me to step into his car, I did! I must admit, looking back, it was rather silly of me because he could have been an axe murderer!
Anyway, he drove all the way along Wood Lane and when we got out of the car, a lot of people were standing photographing this unusual bird. It was a very exciting day! He spent about 5 days up there and people came from all over the country to see him. I felt very privileged to have had him in my village.
Thanks for all the kind comments and Favs. It is always much appreciated.
