Sutton Bingham - Sat 22 Apr
A real patch scarcity today with a singing Cuckoo present somewhere in trees south of the Fishing Lodge. I first heard it calling in the morning and then again during a return visit later in the day. This is the first Cuckoo I've heard singing at Sutton Bingham for more years than I care to remember.

Other birds present today included a Little Egret on West Pool and ten Sand Martins, five House Martin and a good number of Swallows passing through. More Common Sandpipers today with seven birds counted.
