Apologies for some late information. My WIFI has been off for a couple of days.
Tuesday Aug 1. Tealham Moor. 2 Whinchat, 1 Wheatear, many Swifts and Swallows.
Today around 10.00 Westhay Moor. One rufous female Cuckoo seen from Daggs drove and shortly afterwards, a very similar bird seen flying ahead of the car as I returned to Tealham. Only about a mile between the 2 sightings so probably the same bird. Close views in both cases so sure of the ID.
The North drain has been dredged so quite a few birds were attracted to the spoil on the bank, notably juvenile Pied Wagtails.
