Skylark- the Steppe Area hosts a very dense population.
Cuckoo- great to see such a strong presence of Cuckoos. Usually one audible at any point in the day and seen up to three together.
A few raptors were migrating through today including this Osprey circling the village. Also two Montagu's Harrier moving north.
