Hoopoe part 2

We headed back to Kirkham this evening for a second look at the Hoopoe. For a long time it looked like the difficulties associated with viewing the bird in the garden in Cross Lane would prove too much, and we couldn't relocate the bird. However, eventually we found it in a horse field 100m west of the garden, and here it showed much better than it had done this morning, and probably better than it could ever do in the garden.
