Hoopoe spotted in Bower

Hello
My wife saw a Hoopoe in our garden today has anybody else seen one in this area? she took this picture with her phone but it is not very clear. It was a magnificant looking bird and its crest fanned out when one of her chickens approached it. :D

Managed to take these today, he seems to be feeding on the fat balls it is difficult to get close to.
