Hoopoe
I got a report last week of a Hoopoe in a private garden near Askeaton, Co. Limerick. Geoff Hunt made contact with the owner and paid a visit there on Saturday but the bird didn't show. When the call came on Tuesday evening that the bird was back I was lucky enough to be nearby and got a chance to get some shots. Many thanks to Linda O'Brien who was very helpful and kindly allowed us to view the bird from her house.
