A late morning walk on Plumstone Mountain turned up a few surprises. On the heath there were Linnets and Skylarks and on the forest edge Whitethroats and Blackcaps and an impressive number of Spotted Flycatchers. A Buzzard landed on a fence post and posed for the camera and was joined by a pair of Yellowhammers, followed by another two pairs further along the track. Two of the males were still singing. Activity in a Hawthorn tree turned out to be a fully fledged young Cuckoo being fed by a pair of very busy Meadow Pipits.---We decided we must get up there more often!
