From Steve and Julia, St Brides to Little Haven - A lovely afternoon walking the cliff path, highlight was a grasshopper warbler which landed a few yards from us and sang non stop for well over a minute. Just past the small pool on your right you come to a field with a few remains of an old building, we counted 12 wheatears here. In addition there were 10+ whimbrel, numerous whitethroat, 2x l. whitethroat, reed warblers, blackcaps, chiffchaff, stonechats.

From Carol Swain and Bruce Paley - We had a sighting of a Cuckoo, below Plumstone mountain.  Heard It's first  call at about 11.30 may 6th. It was sitting on a fence post.  The bird continued to call for the next few hours.
