Finally saw a Hoopoe !

I saw this tonight on the terrace. Bizarrely my Mother had seen one in Spain and no one believed her, but she was so adamant -  when she returned we researched it. WE DEF had one on our terrace tonight and I've now located at least 4 nests in several trees in the actual forest. I've also worked our their 'call' and that's the sound that's been mystifying me -  so we have several families here. We SO need a wild life expert here to tell us all that is here ! FREE holiday still offered to expert ! It was exquisite ! It stayed on the side of the terrace near to the lemon trees for about 6 minutes and I couldn't run in to get the camera I was transfixed. Now the tripod, long lens are set up !
