Kingfisher and Colourful Birds - The Hoopoe

First seen on Saturday 23rd July 2022 at Open Spaces

The Hoopoe is a spectacular and rare visitor from southern Europe. An unmistakeable bird, similar to the Jay, but with a strongly striped wing pattern and a large crest (folded here, but opens like a fan). Its song is a soft repeating "poo-poo-poo".
