The Furners Lane Cuckoo has been in fine voice for two of the last three mornings ,usually between 5.00 and 7.00 am. I caught a glimpse of him 2 days ago at the top of the trees to the right of the footpath which goes down beside Field House off Furners Lane.

I also witnessed an unusual event the other day (at least we’d never seen it before). Two Herring Gulls mobbing a Red Kite high above the garden. The noise attracted me first of all.
