Harden Moor

 Saturday 25th May a.m.

A sunny morning starting off at 12°C on Harden Moor where the Cuckoo was making plenty noise, I got a view of it but in silhouette with the sun behind. It usually attracts plenty of attention from other birds and this morning was no exception, I got another view of it later with the sun in a better position.  Blackcap, Whitethroat and Willow Warlers were singing, a Green Woodpecker flew over and a Kestrel was hunting.  Others included Bullfinch, Sand Martin, Swift, Mistle Thrush, Song Thrush, Skylark, Linnet and a distant Barn Owl.
