Cuckoos

 13th May

It was raining most of the day so no birding until the evening when it turned sunny.  I went to Mt. Pleasant corner and heard a nightingale there and a great spot drumming. Later moved down to the Sportsman meeting Andy Bowers where two cuckoos were chasing one another around. 

I walked down towards the huts seeing a strange wagtail which I managed a quick shot. Looked to be a very young grey wagtail or what was suggested by Norman McCanch a white morph yellow wagtail. A lot of comments on FB but wasn't resolved but the next day MC photographed it and said it was a grey and the next day it was being fed by adults. I also saw a grey wagtail flying away calling so.........was it the same bird??
