Strange visitor at Bike Station in Ikaalinen - Hoopoe
Category: General, Portrait
A stranger has been in our garden in Ikaalinen during the last two weeks!
At first we thought, that it was a woodpecker, as we had seen only black and white colours in it's back. Then we red news in Aamulehti (a newspaper in Tampere region) and there it was, our stranger!
This bird is called Hoopoe and it is not seen in Finland very often.
Also some bird watchers have heard that this bird has been hanging around in our neighbourhood, as they have been walking around here with their cameras.
