So near yet so far

Monday 20th October 2013
Another out of County excursion today if only just out of County. The Hoopoe at a fishery just outside Woodford Halse in Northants. was the attraction.The bird feeds in the car park of the fishery and I was told the owner has temporarily closed the fishery to minimise disturbance of the bird. I was glad to have the opportunity of thanking him for the gesture. With the small group of admirers kept back behind the gate the Hoopoe was amazingly confiding, coming almost right up to the gate in its never ending quest for food.
