Having failed to record a Cuckoo here in 2018 one present this morning is pleasing. Other migrants were restricted to 1 Spot Fly and southbound 23 Swallow, 4 Oyk, 3 Swift, 2 House Martin, Avocet & Sanderling plus northbound 5 Brent. 650 assorted seagulls offshore when ploughed through revealed nothing more exciting than 5 Meds & 2 Common Gull. Worth a mention is the fact that both of the male Blackcaps that have been singing on the Icky ridge and in the observatory compound appear to have accompanying females with a third male that has been singing seemingly to have moved on. Blackcap has only bred here successfully on one previous occasion.
