p.m. Quarry area. A Cuckoo flew across the quarry at eye level, with irate birds in hot pursuit. Watched until it went over a rise opposite April Cottage. First I've actually seen here for donkey's. Other species inc: 3 linnet, raven, redpoll, whitethroat(s), stonechat et al. A circling (non-raptor) dot in the sky looked interesting, but it was just that - a dot - even through bins. Oh well.
