Sunday 9th May

Just east of my patch this afternoon during a brief respite from the rain - walking the bluebell woods just N of Wateringbury.  A Cuckoo called from the area of Heath Farm, East Malling.  I visted the Kiln Barn Farm Barn's with a friend's little lad who was desperate to see an owl - needless to say the Little Owl wasn't there.  A Swallow sat up on one of the nearby wires and two Swifts, my first this year for the patch, scythed overhead.
