The Hoopoe, present since Thursday 3rd May was relocated this morning at approx TF 557654. This is disused waste ground between Skegness and Winthorpe. It is accessible via a number of footpaths from either Beacon Park Drive, Burgh Road (opposite Skegness Academy) or West Way off Roman Bank with the latter being the best option with a shorter walk. There are no problems in accessing this area. The bird was very flighty and elusive this morning covering a large area, often disappearing for long preiods in long grass. Most views were flight views but I managed a few distant digiscoped record shots of it perched in a tree. Hopefully somebody will get better shots!

Regards

Nige

Hoopoe was very flighty but showed well briefly for the gathered few.

Hi Katherine

Skeg Bus Station is next to the Railway Station. Hop on a bus to Ingoldmells and ask to get off at West Way, Winthorpe
