Tuesday, 25 November 2014. Hoopoe at Dawlish Warren, 24th November 2014. On my day tour in Norfolk on the 14th November we chatted about birds and on being asked what bird I would most like to see in the UK, I replied with hoopoe (Carl's was Siberian rubythroat). And in a bizarre twist of fate a hoopoe was found at Dawlish Warren the next day (15th)! Hoopoe in Egypt 2013 - the view I was hoping for at Dawlish Warren in 2014.

Terry's Birding Diary: January 2009
http://terrysbirdingdiary.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, 29 January 2009. Sunday 25th January 2009. Had an hour to spare this afternoon, so I drove over to Douglas Avenue, parked up, and took the footpath down over Littleham Brook, through Maer Vale up to Maer Lane. It was fairly quiet birdwise, despite the mainly sunny afternoon. A Great Spotted Woodpecker was calling near the stream and a flock of over 50 Chaffinches was given a good grilling for Brambling, to no avail! Wednesday, 28 January 2009. Saturday 24th January 2009. Tuesday, 27 January 2009.
