We have two male Cuckoos on the marsh at the moment and one has definitely set up the Cordite as his main song perch. He can be heard nost days trying to attract the attention of any passing females. Two females have also been see. One a normal looking bird and the other a glorious ginger and chestnut hepatic phase bird that has probably been visiting here and the Ingrebourne Valley for the last few years. This is quite a rare thing to see so keep your eyes open!
