Luddenden Dean

Cuckoo in the dean this afternoon - but at a distance, singing near the graveyard in the upper dean.

I went down to check - hopefully for Redstart this afternoon without success unfortunately. Just a few Willow Warblers, 1 Chiff-chaff and 1 Blackcap. 4 Swifts and 2 House Martins >S and several blogging Swallows. The highlight being a Cuckoo (present for over a week now) and singing in the valley most of the afternoon.


3 small Lapwing chicks in nearby fields along with 1 Wheatear
