I STILL haven't seen a hoopoe in the flesh! This one paid a visit to my window sill (I have an office desk on this side of the window) on a day spent at the hospital for tests. My sister took this shot through glass.
One day I might actually see one!!

An attractive and distinctive looking bird Andy, - even I recognised it and I am not very good at recognising birds. Like you I have never seen one in the flesh though, and as they don't really breed over here I would count myself lucky to ever see one.

A lovely shot, and at least your sister captured it for you to enjoy when you got back. Maybe it will be back again. I imagine you spend more time looking out of the window ever since you found out it had visited!!!

Hope you are doing well. Take care

Yes, Carol! I've been on the lookout for a hoopoe outside this window ever since I moved here to my sister's home 18 months ago and she told me it was a regular visitor. I still hold out hiugh hopes of seeing one as they are a most fascinating bird and a friend of the farmer in helping getting rid of insect pests!

Hi Andy
I like this picture very much!
It is a very different kind of bird to those in UK.
Keep watching long enough, and it will come back!!
Best Wishes, HBM, and stay safe!!
Peter

Many thanks, Peter. Yes, I have high hopes that I will see the fella!
Not sure what you mean about finding my bench though???
Best wishes,
Andy

Was für eine schöne Überraschung, Andy! Ich habe diesen schönen Vogel noch nie in natura gesehen. Er wird sicher wieder zurückkommen, und vielleicht hast du Glück und kannst ihn selbst fotografieren.
