Hoopoe at Polgigga.


I managed to get the Hoopoe at Polgigga Cricket Ground today. 
One of the half dozen or so in West Cornwall at the moment.

    Brilliant to see this bird, have only seen photos of them in birding books. P.S. love the image of the hare (favourite recent image).

    Wow! What an amazing bird to find in the Uk. And there are multiples present you say. I can well imagine that people from all over the country will be descending on Cornwall for this special sighting. The last time I saw them was in France and Spain last July .

    Now I am sure the climate is chanching To find this bird in the UK in larger numbers sure is one sign When I lived in Israël they where so common. Great you could make such wonderful captures of it.
    Have a nice weekend,

    superb shots of a stunner, also your previous post of the rarer gulls is superb.me and gulls just don't get on when it comes to their ID.

    Wonderful images, John. I'm somewhat jealous - it's been five years since I saw one, but it was somewhat closer to home than is west Cornwall!

    Best wishes for the coming week - more good weather on the way!! - - - - - Richard

    Always a pleasure to see- seems to be a bit of an influx- hopefully one or two will make it up to the Scottish highlands. Glad Cornwall is starting to get some good spring birds :)

    Beautiful and cute photographs. It really needs a lot of patience to click photos like this. My cousin is going to get married sometime this year and he really looking for a similar kind of Port Macquarie Photographer who can click awesome pics during his wedding.
