Hoopoe

By orts
Many thanks for the V&Cs on my last upload and a big thanks to Bobpage1 for U/A all very much appreciated.
Following on from my previous upload, after the hoopoe flew off I went back to the Portland Bird Observatory ( http://www.portlandbirdobs.com )to say good bye to a friend and to my surprise the hoopoe had flown into one of the traps and was about to be released after being ringed,l managed to quickly fire of a few shots before it flew away.
