Hoopoe
A Hoopoe was a surprise visitor to a small village in Beds. Only a few minutes away from home, I scooted up to Northill during my lunch break and was lucky to see it fly past me shortly after arriving. It then landed onto the buttresses of St Mary the Virgin church before flying off again toward the graveyard. Always a lovely bird to see whether home or abroad, but this was only my 3rd for the UK.
