Numerous pairs of Linnets were setting up home on the Cop slopes but unfortunately no sign of the normally reliable Stonechats today. Also absent was the hoped-for first Cuckoo of the season. With such a healthy population of Meadow Pipits in the area the parasitic birds are often to be seen and heard from mid-April onwards here.

love to see them with their mouths wide open and the song bursting forth! Cute litte fella!!
What lovely green bokeh in the fist shot. If I didn't know better I would think that was a young mockingbird singing away at the top of tree...size is so deceptive! Being a warbler I presume this guy is small? I really like the second shot as well...surrounded in the lush green foliage of spring! In that shot...he looks the right size...
