Waterhay

10 May - Another fine evening and spectacular sunset. On a late evening visit to pit 68 Waterhay I finally heard the Grasshopper Warbler singing - my first ever in the Wilts section of CWP. Also a Cuckoo calling, and Reed, Sedge and Cetti's Warblers. Plenty of Swifts back now, including the local birds screaming around in the evenings - they're only here for 3 months of the year, so I never take then for granted. A Red Kite over central Swindon, Old Town this morning.
