Hoopoe and Luddenden Dean

Nick Dawtrey is having problems posting on the blog so has asked me to put on that John Beaumont has had a report of a Hoopoe at Free School Lane. It was seen about two weeks ago on one day and reported by some people who live there. They saw it on the lawn and gave a discription which perfectly fits a Hoopoe. Coincides with other migrants about that same time throughout the country.

Luddenden Dean last night produced 2 Cuckoo. Also 2 Woodcock seen on 9 occasions around 9 pm roding and Tawny Owl - no sign of any Redstarts in the dean as yet.
