Hoopoe seconds!

After a futile hour's search for the Whitlingham Lane Goosander, I decided to try for better shots of the Spixworth Hoopoe, arriving around lunchtime. At first I was the only birder on site, but others gradually arrived until, perhaps, fifteen people were peering over the fence!

The bird stayed stubbornly distant, although it did raise its crest a couple of times. Perhaps I'll have another bash when I don't have to go with 1200 ISO!
