Flamboyant hoopoes: Rare bird which doesn’t live in UK is spotted by excited southern birdwatchers

Some eagle-eyed residents have been spotting the ‘flamboyant’ Hoopoe in several spots in Sussex over the past week – including Brighton and Hankham. Polly Mair shared these stunning photos, taken at Hankham, on X. The sighting is particularly exciting for birdwatchers, as Hoopoes aren’t native to the UK.
