Corscombe - Sat 10 May

A trip up to Corscombe this afternoon in the hope of seeing the Hoopoe which had been present for much of the week. I wasn't feeling too confident as there had been no news all morning, it was windy with heavy showers, and some idiot had been flushing the bird all Friday afternoon! As it happened my pessimistic attitude proved to be the right one, sure enough not even a sniff of the bird. I did see a Cuckoo and a couple of Skylarks, but that was about it.
