Cuckold have breathing on the ground in my part of the Ipswih-Shotley-Sudbury Golden Triangle over the last few years.
Used to get them turn up every year in the same woods and thickets, but I have seen one over the last two years.
Keeping my to here crossed for a return this year. |  |

Meant to post on your Bittern thread the other day. Heard one at Wicken Fen with my mother last year. Thought we saw one, as well, over in the far corner of the site, in the distance flying just above the trees. |  |

Farking predictive text on my kindle fire is absolutely bonkers.
It should have been "thin on the ground"

Well worth a trip to Wicken for anyone interested in birds. Best give it 3 weeks and you will see and hear Cuckoo, bittern, hobby will be there soon, harriers etc. There was a chap recording nightingales today. Crane seen on adjoining Burwell Fen this week.
Wicken's about 10 miles from Newmarket on the A1123. | | | |

We always heard the first cuckoo here on 12th April like clockwork but haven’t heard it yet. I assume the harsher winter is the cause.
When it was snowing and cold we had a flock ( or whatever the collective term is) of 12 yellow hammer. Six of them still come back every day for the seeds I put out for them. We hadn’t seen yellow hammers here for many years before. |  | | |

It's amazing how predictable they are, I note the dates I first hear them. They last four years have been, 18, 18, 24, 18 April. I read in Nick Davis book that a possible reason for the cuckoo's decline is that their arrivals have been constant whereas their hosts are arriving and breeding earlier. | | | |

Had an interesting few minutes this evening. A couple of crows saw off a buzzard. Presumably the crows had eggs or fledglings. |
Best fight I've ever seen was half a dozen or so Red Kite, & about the same number of Common Buzzard, having a right old stand-off about 200' up over the moors where I used to live - real Jets vs Sharks stuff! |  |

Certainly this was not in that class. Buzzard didn't put up much of a fight. He ( or she) just f-cked off. Plenty of other fish in the sea I suspect. |  | | |

My bantams used to get into a right ol frit when there were Buzzards about, reckon the Bs could have swooped in & stolen all the eggs they wanted! | |
