Sounds like you had a good day, John. Please tell the Chat and all the Wagtails to stick around for about 6 weeks so that we can see them at the end of May/early June--lol! Have any Cuckoos returned to the Wetlands?
Kind regards, Ann
No reports of Cuckoo as yet, as far as I am aware, Ann. I have seen one there in previous years, was surprised by it actually - only a few yards away. But too quick to fly off for me to get the camera to my eyes!!! grrrr :)
John, thanks. We saw 3 Cuckoos flying around over and beyond the woodland when we visited the Wetlands a couple of years ago in early June but we have not seen any before or since. We did hear another on one visit. However, that is hardly a representative sample since we only visit NW once a year, though I have hopes for more visits per year in the future!
Did a nice long walk around the wetlands on Friday (still couldn't find goldcliffe though!!) and heard the cuckoo at three different locations, didnt get to spot him but did get a couple of vids of him calling across the lagoons unfortunately not a clue on how to upload the vids on here
