Migrant Cuckoo.

My sponsored Cuckoo, Nussey, which got as far as Morocco on its first attempt to migrate and then backtracked to Spain, has not responded to the tracking satellite since the 10th of August, seventeen days ago. There must now be concern that the bird is in trouble and if not already dead, will be unable to tackle the difficult Sahara crossing to its Central African rainforest winter quarters.

Hundreds of butterflies on the Forage Kale in the field halfway up the hill to Ewelease Dairy today. All three species, Large White, Small White and Green Veined White were present .Some thousands of Caterpillars could arise and munch away at the Kale, not leaving much for the cows.
