Close views of Cuckoo both at the Moors and Flashes this afternoon - the latter from the ... Cuckoo Hide. Either the same or two birds. Yellow Wagtail at the Flashes of interest. Seemingly fewer Avocet but didn't count them. On the Moors, 3 Mediterranean Gulls again. 2 Otters causing havoc - one attempting to get up the island furthest from the east hide. Otherwise pretty much as yesterday although did get a Hobby at the Flashes yesterday mid day.

2 COMMON CRANES flew north over the Moors Pool this morning as per AJP
Birds were apparently unringed and represent a new addition to the reserve list.

It was about this time last year I had 6 over my house in Bromsgrove so hopefully it'll be a regular event, especially with Cranes recorded in other parts of Worcestershire this month 🤞

Still a vocal Cuckoo at both Moors and Flashes this afternoon-the latter visible from the Cuckoo hide still. Single Red Kite at the Flashes.
Pair of Mediterranean Gulls and Common Tern still at the Moors. An Otter again, this time wrestling with an Eel or Snake maybe, in front of the concrete hide. Water Rail on the causeway briefly, Garden Warbler in song at the North Moors main highlights.
