Calshot Marshes

Yesterday afternoon, we visited Calshot Marshes for the Hoopoe which had been present from Tuesday onwards. The bird showed in a tree on arrival and soon flew onto the deck where it fed and became increasingly further away. We went around the back of the houses where we were able to approach the bird to get close enough for decent efforts. Heres what I got:
