Seen one in Ibiza when I was 19, getting excited about spotting a bird as a youngster on the piss and pull meant i got a bit of stick off my mate out clubbing later that  night....worth it though lol

Never seen one in the UK, would be made up if I did

I once met a lap dancer who worked on a game farm.....yeah I got a bit of stick off my mates for sitting chatting about pheasants to a bird in a thong .

Seen plenty hoopoe in Spain and some in Tenerife

Used to have them regularly in France when my folks had a place there. Hoopoe, black kites , it's definitely a pleasure to see unfamiliar wildlife.
