A quick cycle ride around Pennington Flash and then up onto the canal as far as Lightshaw Flash was productive this evening with a hobby over the western end of Pennington Flash and grasshopper warbler and cuckoo reeling / calling at Lightshaw Flash. I watched the latter fly up from a hedge and land close by on top of a tree where it started calling again. Supporting cast included two Cetti's warblers at Pennington Flash.
Year: 213 (Cuckoo, garden warbler). This time last year I was on 211, in 2014 I was on 229.
