Spotted an odd shaped 'grey' bird on my run today. No photo, it flew off low and too fast for me. A few seconds later, I worked out what it was. By it's call. Very distinctive and unmistakable. |

Two pairs of hares in a field. When the big ones lope around, they remind me of bobcats. Deer in the same field and also a solo goose with a black head in long grass that kept ducking down. Was on bike and didn’t have binos on me, so no ID. I’m also seeing the occasional black & white duck around here; again from a distance. Probably tufted, but always worth checking in case it’s a scaup. Off out in a bit with the binos. |

Ooh, cuckoo, @um ! Keep expecting to hear one here. Not yet, though.

Yesterday my first swallow. Today the resident martins in abundance by the Tees. And a woodpecker drumming.

Still waiting for our swallows. Put up two swallow houses the other day. Hope they use them. Our camera bird box has not had any interest in about a week now. I wonder if it is too new. |

I had a quick look at the Kittiwakes on the Tyne Bridge today. They were in fine voice.
