Rode out over the moors road to Corsock, an area I have often thought should produce bird sightings, but doesn't. Today however got a second cuckoo sighting. This bird was visibly calling from the top of an old tree in a deforested area and was being mobbed by a smaller bird. Moreover, saw a whinchat on two separate occasions, only my second and third sightings. Both were females. Added to a jay messing around in the scrubland, you could say the area has at last produced. Also two roe deer in Cairn Valley and numerous orange tip butterflies (first this year), but still no good pipit views. Did not hear skylark today.
At home swifts made their first appearance yesterday.
