Thursday Evening Outing

The usual walk up the local fields Thursday evening.

It was good to hear HC's Oats Royd Cuckoo calling soon after he had reported re-finding it. A little later CK saw the Bird flying towards Bradshaw. I kept my eyes peeled from my vantage point but did not see the bird alas.

Also here a Fox, a couple of Linnet and Pr. Red Legged Partridge.

Another Partridge flushed from distance to glide away down the fields - I did not get enough on it to ID it - it did not call.

The Wheatear from this morning was still present, although it flew further away when it caught sight of me.

I am wondering how rare Lesser Whitethroat are, and if we will be fortunate to locate one locally this year?
