Just heard my first cuckoo of the year, I would probably have missed it if I hadn't had the bedroom window open because of the sudden onset of summer weather. Actually it was heard around here four days ago but this is just the first day when I have had the leisure to actually listen to the birdsong.
Once upon a time you could find me birding on the Thames marshes almost every weekend through the winter. For various reasons I am now seldom able to travel to good birding sites. I am lucky, however, to live in the beautiful Chiltern Hills and this blog is to document the birds that I see on my own patch.
