Briantspuddle - Sat 4 May

What with it being a lovely sunny afternoon I set off to a site near Briantspuddle which has been productive for me over the past couple of years...today it wasn't! I did hear my first Cuckoo of the year but that was the only highlight during a hour or so walking the heathland. A pair of Stonechats were typically obliging which is more than can be said about a Yellowhammer that was calling constantly but couldn't be found! A few Siskins were seen, including one very bright male singing from the top of a tree next to the car (until I got my scope out to try and get a picture...at which it promptly flew off!). So nothing much for the year list, but a nice bit of sun.
