Didn't venture too far but did have a new bird for the patch list for the year, a calling Cuckoo was heard from the horse paddocks, most likely coming from the woodland to the east of Lea Lane. Only heard it call 3-4 times before it presumably moved on but it is a good bird to catch up with here. There were loads of them when we visited the Wyre Forest on Friday but wasn't expecting to hear another so soon!!Other birds noted were a Mistle Thrush and gorgeous Kestrel hunting around the back of the school playing fields.Thanks Laurie for the info, i will keep an eye out for him assuming he still works the area.Now of to the Beer festival in Cookley for a bit of music and Cider.B <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Cheers :t:</blockquote>
