Very smart Pied Fly at box 24 today and two near misses – a cuckoo I could hear in the distance towards Trendlebeare (wonder if its on its way to Challacombe , they do seem to like it there!) and a wood warbler sung very briefly out near the butterfly glade although again I never saw it. A Lesser Spot was still about above the hide around box 41. Spring definitely seems to be on the way
