Cuckoo Hunt

After being dragged around Whiterose shopping centre this afternoon I needed to escape an hour so after a call from DJS it was over to Hunter Hill for the juv Cuckoo found by Dave on Friday. I arrived in rapidly deteriorating weather to find NCD and SC on the bird which was sheltering behind a wall and after a brief few flights it disappeared down the hillside towards Cold Edge Dams in now pouring rain and mist. Nice to meet Dave and Jen S who had been walk about and returned to the car looking rather the worse for wear. We agreed that the bird would,nt  re appear tonight so called it a day.No photos in the conditions but some good views of the bird. Also 5 Wheatear lower down the track.
Got back to Queensbury in bright conditions and no sign of rain!
BS.
