The weather was not so great on day two and three, but at least it didn't rain. I wandered to the sea and was delighted to see good numbers of Little Terns going past. These were joined by Common and Sandwich Terns. I had a distant Whimbrel on Arnold's Marsh, and the odd Bearded Tit in the reeds, but it certainly seemed a little quieter.
That said, it certainly got a lot better, when news of a Hoopoe came through, and just around the corner from my parents too. I was lucky enough to get a couple of shots of it on a roof, before it made off out of view. What a special bird.

These are beautiful photos and film, Adam.
ReplyDeleteThe Bearded Tit is my favorite this time.
I wish you a lovely weekend.
All the best, Irma
Great post Adam, I love all the birds. The Bar-tailed Godwit is a pretty color.
ReplyDeleteThe Bearded Tit is beautiful and I would love to see the Hoopoe. Awesome bird sightings and great photos and video. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great day and a happy weekend! PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
Finding a Hoopoe on your doorstep is the sort of sighting that makes a trip memorable. The Little Terns are lovely too. A fantastic set of photographs.
ReplyDelete...the Hoopoe has an interesting profile!!! Adam, I wish you happy birding and be well.
ReplyDeleteThose little terns are awfully cute! I just saw an old Midsomer Murders where the big quest was for a hoopoe! And now, thanks to you, I've had my first "sighting." I was wondering what the bird they were searching for looked like!
ReplyDeleteI love all of your birds but that Hoopoe is amazing.

ReplyDeleteHow I would love to see a hoope in person, very distinctive birds.
