Internet and laptop both crashing here in the evening :(((
Great spot, BART, lovely to see KL5 I wonder where he's been?
Apart from that welcome visit, just 2-3 individual tiny perchers and some little birds on the dead tree.
Could be buzzard(s) Trevor or at least one is. The second one that flew off to the left appeared to have different wings, I think! There were several typical calls, ca 12.04.

Dang! Cuckoo displaced by Jay after all-too-short a stay:

TREVOR - that would have completely passed me by - and it nearly did even with your alert, as I was looking at the dead tree area. not yet having turned the page to see SHEILA's post
I don't think this is at all useful, visually - maybe should have cropped closer but they're so distant. However, I've done a magnificent job on the pre-calls, allowing for distortion caused by dealing with the loudly gusting wind:
Little birds on the nest and perch late afternoon. Nothing else seen.
