Hoopoe Upupa epops

Monifieth, Angus, Scotland

Thursday 13th October 2005

  Got word of this bird at dusk time on the Wednesday night. No sign of the bird. So shot through to Monifieth first thing the next morning and sure enough hadn’t even got out of the car when it flew over onto the football pitch. Cracking bird!

  Digiscoped with a Nikon Coolpix 995 and a Swarovski 80HD Scope.
