| Re: hoopoe
It's a scarce visitor to Britain (usually on passage) but they have bred here too. A Hoopoe this late in the year is very unusual though they winter in Africa/Asia! Are you absolutely certain that's what you saw? (although with that almighty crest they're a bit hard to confuse with anything else)
Probably would be a good idea to go back to the river and try and relocate it and get a photo.
Whereabouts are you? |
