    Default Hoopoe in Reay

    Dont know if anyone else had a visit today or recently but i have had a Hoopoe in the garden today,took me ages to identify it. Apparently quite rare in these parts usually only seen a few times in the year and all on the south coast,so well pleased with that visit.
    will try and upload a pic tomorrow
