Above - juvenile Cuckoo - and on some of my photos still showing signs of a gape but it was feeding on its own and no sign of the hosts!
I tried - 8 till 10 this morning in the drizzle!!
As expected there was very little in the way of movers, mainly heading SW
5 Mallard
6 B H Gull
2 Common Gull
1 L B B gull
31 Swallows
3 Goldfinch
1 Linnet
With 5 Meadow Pipits and 1 Jackdaw heading North
Nearby was a bit more interesting with a juvenile Cuckoo on a wall looking very bedraggled in the rain but still managing to find a few large caterpillars among the thistles and nettles.
3 Kestrels
1 Grey Partridge
90 Meadow Pipits around the quarry
13 alba Wagtails nearby and 2 Wheatears

Nice Cuckoo Dave. One in the same general area 2 years ago.
A well deserved reward with the Cuckoo for turning out today Dave.
You,re going to push those Swifts on till Sept the way you,re going.
