Nice to see and hear so many Skylarks and Meadow Pipits but no Cuckoos.

Talked to the farmer. He said that in previous years they had up to 10 pairs of Lapwing but this year none at all. He felt he had done nothing different.Similar trend in so many other areas. Several pairs of Curlew.
Cowan Bridge
