\n\tThe Hoopoe<\/span><\/strong> was showing well down to around fifteen feet or so and was totally oblivious to the small crowd of onlookers and the constant clicking of cameras. The brownish tones to the primaries, secondaries, tertials and tail would seem to indicate that it was not a full adult, probably a first summer bird. Nevertheless a smart and very obliging bird.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tTakes the year list to 173 as at 11th May 2014<\/span>. – Good call <\/em><\/strong>as the bird wasn't present on Monday 12th May 2014.<\/em>\n<\/p>\n
