Ogden

Back Lane area;
c200 adult Starlings feeding on grubs/larvae then heading off back to feed young at Illingworth/Mixenden ? Jackdaws and Magpies also having a feast but we could not identify the food source as we couldn't find any! Not sure if they were caterpillars or grubs in the ground? Mostly feeding in turf in the juncus areas.
5 Curlew
1 Wheatear

1 Cuckoo also heard calling towards the back of Ogden plantation mid afternoon.

Good do with the Cuckoo,seems a bit of a shortage this year so far.
Think these clear skies tonight will move some more of the waders on from Fly Flatts but theres chance of more arrivals yet. Greenshank and Little Stint next !
