The Hinxworth, Hertfordshire Hoopoe - 23rd June 2022

While up in Yorkshire I heard there was a Hoopoe in Hertfordshire! Luckily on the way back I popped in and it was still there. Initially a bit elusive, it flew down into one of the paddocks and proceeded to hunt for food. It did not venture too close when I was there, but a beautiful bird, and my first in Hertfordshire.

The local Blackbird also wanted some of the limelight!

A great bird for Hertfordshire and good that so many people had a chance to see it.
