What have you seen

First time at FM , when out with Rosa noted two green parakeets on the Bird feeders by  visitor centre

Heard the first cuckoo today in Cwm Nantcol.

Some very strange oystercatcher behaviour seen today 🤔.

We’ve been to Holkham,  walked through the woods and the dunes this morning, then moved on to the hall after lunch.

There were at least 50 oystercatchers strolling about on the beautiful manicured lawns in front of the building, completely oblivious to the passing cyclists, dog walkers etc...

Back at Fakenham Racecourse, and our scenic “pitch”, and there are 2 oystercatchers strutting their stuff on the roof of the Grandstand.

I’ve taken a couple of phone photos, but they are rubbish so won’t post them.

Turnstones have certainly changed their habits in recent years, maybe oystercatchers are doing similar...🤔

I remember once having to wait whilst an Oystercatcher decided to finish eating whatever it was that they had dug up before I was able to play my next shot on a golf course in Scotland. It should have waited for me to play as I'm sure I would have dug up a fair bit of ground for it to mooch in. Happily no longer play the game.

Well if the male swallows arrived here first their families are finally  arriving today, lots flying in from the west. So good to see.

Still no sign of swallows or Fly catcher. It is unseasonably cold and we had snow on Friday last. Native blackbirds however are feeding first brood.

On my usual walk on Sunday I heard the Turtle Dove calling and the Golden Oriole also this morning the Golden Oriole is just at the back of our place calling again lovely to hear just a job to see them.

Just gone green with envy RK.

Have see quite a few Swallows down here in SE Wales and heard our first Cuckoo yesterday when we were up on the moors above the site.
