I have only ever seen one Hoopoe in the county before and that was back in May 2011. So when news came through of one at Hedgerley Green I had to change my plans for the afternoon and take a look.
I arrived to find a few local birders leaving the site or still looking at the bird. The finder Colin Barnes had close views of the bird feeding on a roadside green but since then it had moved to a nearby paddock and so was much more difficult to see. So the photos below are pretty poor taken at a distance and through a farm gate.
