Lovely bird watch at dusk last night. Lots of Martins and Swifts were over. As Gordon and I walked out by the river we heard and saw a Cuckoo a good start. We then saw both a couple of Cranes on the ground and two flying with the setting sun behind them. I wish I was a decent photographer!  A Hobby flew away and finally a Barn Owl flew out in front of us. What a brilliant evening!
