There were some passage birds about today. Probably birds from Scotland moving down the coast: there was no wind at all. First, I had a female marsh harrier hunting over the airfield, then later there was a short-eared owl reported around the Patch at Fife Ness, and at lunchtime I then saw a juvenile cuckoo at Sypsies. I was sat down in cover at the farm watching for any corn bunting nest feeding activity and the cuckoo practically flew over my shoulder, in an atypically leisurely flight. I enjoyed the close view, usually they are heading for cover as fast as they can in response to seeing a person.
