Got a call from Dave Mansell that a Hoopoe had turned up at Scalby Lodge Farm, I was at Bempton at the time so I made a mad dash back to Scarborough to try and find it. When I got to Scalby Lodge Farm quite a few birders had already arrived but the bird had flown over the barn towards the pond.
Eventually the bird showed and after a little bit of patience it gave some good views feeding in a field with some farmyard geese before it came a little closer on to the stone track which leads to the farm from the main road. A superb bird,only my second tick in the UK.
