I haven't heard a cuckoo yet but hope to if I go to the New Forest next Sunday.

Today I saw a glossy ibis, unfortunately it was a bit too far away to get a pic on my phone.

Scribbler, same thing happened to me - I took some shots of chaffinches in the snow, feeding on one of our garden feeders, and it was only when I looked at them afterwards that I noticed one of them was a brambling, the first I'd seen in this country. That one in your photo is, I would say, a male in winter plumage (you don't often see them in breeding plumage here because they clear off back to Scandinavia/Russia for summer).

Good variety of birds while up in the Lakes at the weekend. Loads of willow warblers around the campsite, several wheatears and a probable Ring Ouzel coming down the tourist path from Harrison Pickle, tame song thrushes, and the highlight probably being a great view of an osprey devouring a fish at Foulshaw Moss yesterday evening.
