We took a walk along there late morning following in the footsteps of PB who earlier on managed 1 Fieldfare and then 2 Cuckoos overhead. Missed out on a good photo there Paul !
It was still pretty cold but we managed to find c10 Wheatears (2 of which had the characteristics of Greenland birds). One Cuckoo was singing in the dean, the sound travelling a long way, so it seemed ! We didn't see it.
3 Greenfinch appeared out of habitat on the telegraph wires along the road though Linnets were in their natural summering habitat.
1 Reed Bunting
4 Skylark
+ usual species

I was down the valley around 10-00am listening to the Cuckoos.Another birder pointed to 2 Cuckoos on the wires above st katherines house.A Meadow Pipit was attacking one of them.We thought there was 3 because one was calling from castle carr end as well. dave p.
There were definitely at least 3 yesterday (9.5.21) as 2 flew overhead in a chase -
I only got rear records shots - whilst a third was calling on the hillside behind Goose Nest. PB
