After a somewhat dull week at Morton Bagot I learnt that there was a rather good bird in Warwick, about 10 miles to the west.
A Hoopoe had taken up residence on a small lawn in front of the IBM building in the county town. Better still, I got the distinct impression that it was very easy to see and could be wheelchair accessible. Time for Lyn to get a British tick. I also contacted Richard B who was due a walk around the patch and suggested the change of plan. He also needed Hoopoe, so was delighted to join us.
Guess what ! |
Lyn was a bit "tick and run", but I joined dozens of photographers with massive lenses moaning about the poor light to get my own little bit of rarity experience.
Normal birding will be resumed in due course.
