I think you can be assured that it's more likely to be a Hoodwink than a Hoopoe <img src="www.sparkimg.com/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" alt="smile" title="smile" />

Saw a pair ground feeding in Gran Canaria a good few years ago. My only sighting.

Haha Geoff. Must admit I was very skeptical. But thought I would mention it just in case. Anyone local may want to keep an eye out.<img src="www.sparkimg.com/emoticons/evileye.gif" border="0" alt="evileye" title="evileye" />

David,I,d love it to be true, but the last G.M Hoopoe was in 1999,I,m not saying it isn,t but without a trusted named member of forum clapping eyes on it I,d save the bus fare,strange reports of rare birds are always cropping up in the press and now social media, the digital age make us all a bit wary of scams or just misinformed people.Best to go have a look I,ll keep the scooter topped up and ready to roll <img src="www.sparkimg.com/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" alt="biggrin" title="biggrin" />

cheers geoff<img src="www.sparkimg.com/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" alt="biggrin" title="biggrin" />
