Cuckoo again

Just heard a Cuckoo while in the garden at New Moorsite, it must have been in the field behind the estate. If anyone wants to see and hear one go to Rye Harbour they are all over the reserve.

This is the fourth report of a Cuckoo calling in Westfield this spring, which is very good news for this rapidly declining species! The first was posted on Westfield Wildlife on 11 May (scroll down), with two subsequent reports in the comments section below that posting (click on ‘5 comments’ to read). Let’s hope this male (or is there more than one?) has managed to find a female!
