In hope-oe of seeing a Hoopoe

This was a short visit to Collingham Cricket Club, West Yorkshire after sightings and social media posts of an exotic looking bird called a Hoopoe. It hails from Africa & Asia and only around 100 of them migrate to the UK and some over shoot the south coast.
They are a solitary bird that feed on grubs and worms in the ground.
This short video will give you an idea of their feeding behaviour.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed photographing it.
