The HooPoo Bird

When I returned to the farmhouse telling everyone who was prepared to listen, that I had just seen and photographed a Hoepoe (pronounced Hoo-poo), they stared at me for a second then all fell about laughing.
Fortunately there was a book on Birds of Britain and Europe on a shelf, and that quickly dispelled the myth of the Hoopoo bird – that and my rather blurred photo which I thought was better than nothing.
