Another local Hoopoe .........

8 Nov - Having missed the Hoopoe in west Swindon in the summer, I was surprised and pleased to hear of another that has been present for a few days at Hilmarton near Calne. I had a narrow window to see it this afternoon, so fortunately it was present on my arrival, feeding by the farm driveway. Fairly distant, but good views in the open. It was flushed by a vehicle after a few minutes so a well-timed visit. My 3rd Wiltshire Hoopoe.
