That's Bradshaw's Hoopoe, but Watkins has got one too. So has Ponsonby. And that's just in this village. Thinks 'e's something special but he's about as cool as Baloo bear dancing in a grass skirt.
You surprise me. These other Hoopoes - are they full hoopoes or half hoopoes ? I have in mind the famous and unusual Hoopoe Hump of some years ago when a considerable number of full hoopoe cocks nesting near Glossop, focused their amorous intentions on a large flock of Orpington hens, this action resulting in several score of Hoopingtons, or Orpoes. I'd be most interested if anyone can cast light. Yours etc., Alison Squatt [Mrs., 39]

Nobody cast light. That's why those lascivious birds were able to carry on their carnal activities undetected.
ReplyDeleteVery exciting, too.
