Spring diary

On a telephone wire in a village. These birds hardly seem to sit on anything but wires...

Flock swooping around in the evening.

Heard a Cuckoo while exploring Kokino.

Beautiful cuckoo, I saw it, she was beautiful. We were on picnic at Matka, near Skopje.

I saw a beautiful white stork yesterday. She/he was big and I hope that as all mothers do, she will find her nest from last year.

I was on a Dusk Chorus outing to Cuskinny Reserve with BirdWatch Ireland led by Jim Wilson. About 50 people turned up. It was very interesting. Jim pointed out the swifts to us.
