2 second Hoopoe

On Tuesday 14th April, a look around Gunton Warren I failed to find the female Ring Ouzel, so I then went to Corton parked up by the church, where I saw Rob H, at the pond by the old Sewage works an incredible tally of 3 Moorhen seen plus the pair of Mallard. A walk around the Corton New Sewage Works, revealed a singing male Blackcap by the Corton ORT plus a calling Bullfinch, heard but not seen. As we walked back to churchyard, I suggested checking the churchyard and we walked around the back of St. Bartholomew's Church, at 7.25pm Rob raised his bins and said there's a Hoopoe and I latched onto the bird flying as it flew just beneath the height of the Church tower which then obscured the bird which appeared to be dropping into roost around Church farm. despite an extensive search and a Pipistrelle bat flying east from the church little else seen.
