For all you bird watchers out there..!!!

This has been in my garden most of the day.
Been told by a couple of friends who are twitchers, that it’s quite rare to have one of these over here.

Hoopoe - very rare in UK

You lucky barsted, you lucky, lucky barsted!

[Dave3166]

I’ve also taken some footage, but don’t know how to put it on PistonHeads.

It’s called a ‘Hoppee’or ‘Hoopoe’ . I’m no bird watcher, so don’t know which one is correct.

You'll be fine - as long as you don't do anything silly like posting on an Internet forum.

I normally only see a hoopoe on Spanish golf courses. Congratulations chap. Enjoy.

[Dave3166]

Thank you.

I can’t wait to get back on the course again.

[Mort7]

Is it still around?

[Dave3166]

I’m afraid no.
Haven’t seen it yet...!!!!!

Our golf course is now open! Got a Tee time booked in the morning

Has the Hoopoe been today? Your last message was a bit see below

[Dave3166]

No, haven’t seen it since the day I reported it.

What course do you play on.

Soz Dave . I can’t give my exact location, there will be some tw@ts on here that might want to lynch me North West coast. Where do you play?

[Dave3166]

Oh right, fair enough.

Sounds nice.

I’m a member at The Hampshire club, near Andover. Play with a bird watcher who needs to concentrate on his golf rather than looking up into the sky all the fecking time.
