I was reading through that wondering where the fuck the leader had found this fella and how had I not found him before in between the court cases and the politicians standing by road signs 
The leader ain’t what it once was

He has a few great little articles/stories about the cuckoo and it’s impotance to lads.
Have you heard a cuckoo yet. Not many cuckoo’s in the city. Although there’s a lovely bird song going on out the back at the minute.
Is there such a thing as a dusk chorus?
No sign of it, don’t think I heard it all last year and I be out for a walk most evenings.
I’d say the last time I heard a cuckoo I actually ended up seeing it.

There are 2 great spotted woodpeckers frequenting my parents garden and bird feeder with the past week or so.
The mother has a picture of them but it’s not very clear. I’ll try and get a good one and stick up here.

Wood you not have believed it?
In the last few years these fellas have become more common.
Fucking immigrants, coming in here, pecking our trees

A few months back I noticed a greater than usual amount of bird shit on my recycling bin.
It turns out that there is a blackbird nest under the tiles on the side roof directly above where the bin was located.
I moved the bin and let them at it.
Some noise when I go out to the back garden some days. The babies’ beaks are visible from under the tiles squaking like fuck while the parents squak back to them.
Fascinating to witness it.
