Cuckoo

A short session before work on Friday morning with Hawky produced a real stunner in the first round of checking the mist nets. A cracking Adult male Common Cuckoo was the first bird to be extracted out of the fine net. This summer visitor (April-Sept) is normally heard and rarely seen well, so it's definitely one of my highlights so far this year to been able to extract and ring one. Hopefully it can be resighted again because that's what this is all about, collecting data.

A few Blackcap, Chiffchaff, Dunnock, Blue Tit and Great tit were also ringed.

Thanks again Paul
