cuckoos Cors Caron

2 Cuckoos made their way up the bog this morning and flew into birch trees close to where we were standing, closely followed by 2 meadow pipits which continued to harass the cuckoos until they flew off. Didn't know who to feel sorry for!
Sadly no sign nor sound of any snipe and just one pair of curlew calling.
Redstarts very active in a line of old, holey rowans reclaiming nest sites, willow warbs singing everywhere and the tinkling of 3 grasshopper warblers.
