No doubt most of you have heard of the deline in cuckoo numbers,i havent noticed it around MSQ usual numbers e.g. 2-3 birds,this morning i got a letter with a raffle book from the RSPB,the RSPB states the Cuckoo is just one of 18 new species that have been red-listed-in the recently -published report,BIRDS OF CONSEVATION CONCERN 3.,THE REVISED RED LIST NOW INCLUDES LAPWING AND YELLOW WAGTAIL.,good news for some is Stone Curlew,Scottish Crossbill,Bullfinch,Reed Bunting and Woodlark,moving from red to amber. I wonder if any birders have noticed/noted declines in the Cuckoo and other birds in their area. Roger Hebb. |

Hi Roger,there are definately less Cuckoo's now,since i started birding 24 years ago.This species along with Turtle Dove seem to be the 2 species which have considerably declined.It is a real shame,as both species are a lovely sight and sound on those early spring and summer mornings. Regards Steve. |
