Thursday 12th May a.m.
A decent morning with a temperature of 11°C and some sunshine to bring the warblers out stating with
Whitethroat,the usual
Willows and the bonus of a couple of
Garden Warblers.A good surprise when I walked along the path was to see an
Oystercatcher in front of me, not seen one on Harden Moor before.The
Sand Martins and
Little Owl were in their usual spot and others seen were
Bullfinch,Redpoll &
Kestrel.The highlight though at this time of year is hearing the sound of the
Cuckoo and getting a few views as it moved around.I heard it at one point as I was on a path through some trees and just before I came out into the open I saw the Cuckoo and was able to get a couple of pictures through the branches.N.P.
