An interesting morning around Percival Hill, thanks John. You’re lucky to have such a nice patch of woodland so close, not to mention the waterbird corridor. By coincidence the 2 birds we discussed were caught with bills open - but for different reasons: the Shining Bronze was gulping a tiny caterpillar (below). I think you are wise, given your position in the community, not to include the cuckoo on your week-end blitz sheets. g

I’d enjoy meeting you if you like. Could show you some good spots. I should be home Wednesday and Thursday. Not sure about Friday
