Our Garden
As Dave said we had a hoopoe outside the kitchen window. First spotted through the washing on the line! It fed up and down on the short grass on the track for about 20 mins. or so. Pics taken through dirty windows so not very good but better than nothing.
We were very lucky to be looking out of the window when it happened to be there. Does anyone know why the hoopoe video won't play? I wondered if the file was too big?
Copies are available at £6.00 each from the GO local store at Woodlesford, Pellon price . Hopefully they will also be available at the Fox and Goose Hebden Bridge ,

Fantastic Jan - am I glad you found my phone number !
Thanks for letting us know Jan. Annie and I came up Wednesday afternoon at about 4.00 but weren't lucky. However your photos are brilliant evidence.
Well done Jan.
Great to see and good to get the record shots.
2nd Hoopoe in two years and dipped on them both. What a great find, lets hope it sticks around for the weekend.
Fantastic find, well spotted Jan
