Old Lodge NR
- I managed to dodge the showers at Old Lodge this morning to see my first Cuckoo of the year. Initially I heard it in the distance and eventually after several more soundings I managed to see it. The bird was on a fence beside a Goldfinch and was facing away from me so I was able to get within 20 metres to enjoy superb views.
- I also managed to find another good Redstart area, close to the MOD boundary at Pippingford. 2 sightings including a smashing close up of a stunning male.
Very satisfied with my 90 minute visit.
Hindleap:
- At sunset I saw my first Woodcock of the year at Hindleap
Another very satisfactory short visit.
