http://charmouthbirding.blogspot.com/2016_04_01_archive.html
A photographic record of birds in and around Charmouth, Dorset, UK. Friday, 29 April 2016. It proved too good to miss so I drove down to near Musbury this afternoon. What a beauty the bird was, feeding energetically in the grass alongside a pond and lit up by brilliant sunshine. Surprisingly insconspicuous at distance and initially keeping low to the grass . Here's a short video of the Hoopoe feeding in the soft ground near one of the ponds. Another brilliant local bird for April. Monday, 25 April 2016.
