CUCKOO

Blog readers may be interested to learn that I heard my first cuckoo of the year half an hour ago (1.45pm) at Llawrcwrt. I know they will turn up – I’d have rather seen a Hoopoe!

I have a Trail camera set up by the pond and was surprised the other day to record a Buzzard walking past at 0615 when it was still quite dark. I've also recorded Herons doing a little light frogging well after sunset. But by far the best video clip was three otters (mother and 2 juveniles) round about sunrise. I think they too were after frogs.
