Hoopoe in North Walsham

Linda and I knew there'd been a Hoopoe touring the gardens of a small bungalow estate to the east of North Walsham, so when the pager announced at lunchtime that it had settled down right by a quiet road, we finished our tuna wraps and headed north. We arrived in less than half an hour and found the delightful vagrant feeding happily in front of a small, well-behaved gallery: two terrific birds in two days!
