August 21st 2010

A grotty morning but the rain brought in a beautifully marked juvenile Cuckoo sitting quietly in the churchyard, Napton on the Hill and distant Whinchat in the old brickyard. Also present were 4 Spotted Flycatcher, 4 Mistle Thrush, 2 Lesser Whitethroat, Coal Tit and Goldcrest.
Napton Reservoir had 4 Yellow Wagtail, 3 Raven, 8 Bullfinch, Kingfisher, Snipe and 5 Reed Bunting but by this time I was soaked and loosing the will to live so called it a day.
