CUCKOOS AND DRAGONS

 I've finally caught up with some Cuckoos, there were at least 4 at Buttermilk Hill.

   At long last the Dragonfly season has started. 
These Broad-Bodied Chasers were taken at Bissoe Valley.

  11. I understand that cuckoos have declined precipitously in Britain so your sighting is very fortunate indeed.
