Talking of emptying feeders, was at MiL's the other day, and saw this ... 1) Innocent? 2) Squirrel proof ? He (or she?) seemed to leap across, into and out of with ease ... |

That squirrel would be an easy shot when inside the bird feeder.

I have a couple of those feeders and thankfully our squirrel seems to be too large to squeeze through the bars. However, he or she is making a determined effort to chew through the thick plastic dustbin I keep the bird seed in. |

Heard a cuckoo calling yesterday. Seems quite late to me. When do they normally shut up shop?

I may have heard them in mid-June before, I can't recall. I just tend to think of them as birds of May and the beginning of June, more spring than summer birds (not that we're really getting summer weather, which may of course be connected).

There was a Cuckoo calling as I climbed Wansfell Pike on Saturday and I had the same thoughts about it being a bit late.
