Had a great few hours on the Black Mountains the other day. I am sure that I heard two separate cuckoos and besides that saw and heard a plethora of other birds including redstarts, tree pipits, willow warblers, chiff chaff and meadow pipits.
Was surprised to see only one skylark and nothing in the way of whichat or stonechat. This is an area where merlins are known to breed and so this may be a reason, though the many pipits carrying food to young suggested otherwise.
