Re: Birds

We get Hoopoe in Britain some times, but I've never seen one, would be a life tick for me if I did.

They have been seen here, but not often.

Re: Birds

Not this strain of Hoopoe in the UK. What is the difference? it is in the sound they make. One does it with an English accent and the other with an Egyptian Accent

If they passed through France first they probably picked up the French accent as well.
