Indeed, good that digital peer review is possible. You seen gentilis in Lincs yet? Surely all these countless thousands of birder-hours doing VPs must have turned up some incontrovertible images?..

A grey juvenile flushed from sea buckthorn at the south end of Donna Nook this morning flew away south along the dunes.

not a single incontrovertible image to date, taken in Lincs anyway, -- contrast that with the number of decent Honey-buzzard images that have been taken of a species that only occurs as a rare passage migrant, or even Black Kite another vagrant while Goshawk is claimed to be a breeding resident --

while looking for raptors this am picked up a grey juv Cuckoo on the Wolds just inland from Barton feeding from overhead wires and dropping into a small pocket of rough vegetation and a stubble field --

a juv Osprey also flew down the Humber off Goxhill this morning mobbed by a rather large gang of gulls

I had a very dark grey and heavily barred juvenile yesterday at Conisholme at the same location as John Clarkson on 22 August. It struck me as quite late so I checked the reporting rate on Birdtrack for this week and only 1 in 770 lists report cuckoo at this time of September.

Has nobody else had a cuckoo lately. I had one this afternoon on the track down to Saltfleet haven at 13.15. It was perched on the new brick sea wall, very handsome grey bird.
