Wednesday 16 May
Martins yesterday and today cuckoos, probably just one bird so far. It was heard in Greenend earlier this week, then in Darnholme and Mum heard one calling this morning. Although I've not heard it yet I have seen it! There was a male flying in and out of the oaks across the field. The oaks are still to bud up yet, never mind come into leaf which made spotting the cuckoo that bit easier.
The owl arrived back onto its wires today as well.

A phenological diary for Goathland and surrounds.
About...
Does what it says on the tin. An online diary of nature and garden notes based in and around Goathland, a small village in the middle of the North York Moors. We have a wide range of birds which visit the garden but being surrounded not only by moorland but also pasture land and some woodland including some lovely mature trees means we have an even greater species list that you might expect. The garden is predominantly herbaceous beds with some shrubbery areas and a fair expanse of grass.
