2 Hoopoes at Hankham near Pevensey in Sussex

8th April 2024

A quick visit to Hankham, a small village between Eastbourne and Pevensey, to twitch the hoopoes.  Right on cue, both birds were showing well, enjoying the sun on the grassy field adjacent to the road.



On the way home I called in at Iford Brooks near Lewes to look for a garganey.  Alas I failed but I did record my first common whitethroat of the year.

I went back again today, this time with Martin who didn't get my message in time yesterday.  Sadly one of the hoopoes had left but the other one provided us with cracking views.
