Thanks to Calderdale Countryside and particularly to Hugh for organising a walk around the upper dean from Jerusalem Farm this morning.
We were fortunate to be able to support the walk with some birdwatching experience and to welcome around twelve others to see what we could find and enjoy in the dean on such a lovely day.
The Cuckoo on the wires was one of the highlights and actually flew towards us to perch on an overhead wire. It looked amazing through the scope !
Also 2 Kestrels and buzzard, a family group of Grey Wagtails, Swallows, Swifts, Curlew and Greenfinch amongst others and Willow Warblers, Blackcaps and Whitethroat singing from hidden places !
Many thanks to everyone.
David and Jennifer.

Thanks to Hugh and yourself for taking us round, David. It was most enjoyable. As you say, probably the highlight was the cuckoo, which was worth the price of admission for on its own.
Nice to have met you.
Best Regards
Neil Harvey
Always great to see a Cuckoo Dave.
I haven't heard or seen on yet this year.

Better get a Cuckoo soon John. The adults will be off back on there travels towards Africa soon. Still plenty chance for the juvs as they start coming through in September -ish !
we had a good do with the Cuckoo, late autumn, a couple of years back on Taylor Lane Dave.
That was really special.
