Explored some of the lesser visited areas of @marburypatch this morning and was pleased to find a couple of roosting Woodcock (7 seen in total), along with a pair of Stonechats, 3 Fieldfare (scarce recently), 34 Skylarks, and 10 grounded Pinkfeet.

Bittern hide Hobby paid a great visit today but was mobbed by 5 magpies @CAWOSBirding @marburypatch

After a dismal spring, summer has been excellent for Cuckoos @marburypatch with probably 4 individuals around, inc 1 female. Their Reed Warbler hosts were late this year so that could be a related factor. This is one of the male showing this morning.
