Thanks for the Plumstone Cuckoo info!
Having not heard a Cuckoo all last spring, we headed to Plumstone this morning. At around 11am we arrived and walked up to the "Mountain" with three or four Wheatears seen on and around the track.
Sitting on a rock beneath the "Mountain" my little heart sung, Halleluja!!! One perhaps two were calling from near the right hand side of the Fir plantation.
When I first moved here thirty odd years ago, into our cottage on Pen Caer, several would be calling from April into June but in the last ten/twelve years, they have been few and far between, and i have really missed them.
This afternoon a Grasshopper warbler was singing in the WTSWW Llangloffan Fen reserve
