I've just been watching a Hoopoe in my garden. I've never seen one before and it was amazing!. It has just flown away and has an unmistakable flight.
I'm at Mapledurwell, Hampshire |

Welcome to WAB Sue. You're really lucky. I hope you don't mind me posting the link to your picture. Crest raised too! 
I thought Hoopoes usually appeared in Vicar's gardens?
