There were loads of egrets on the Axe estuary (near Sidmouth) not in some bird books but I guess they've moved with global warming.

As I was well into the wilds I was as sure as I could be my 3 note cuckoo was not an imposter. If I'd known it was rare at the time I could have recorded it. Just a curiosity. Three separate notes, top and bottom about the usual tone apart and a middle one like our semitone. Not a repeat. Terrain presumably suits cuckoos and their prey nests as there was another the next year. Lockdown says I stay at home this year.
