Stone Curlew +1st Cuckoo+ Woodlark

Not to sure where to go when we set off, all we know is we don't want to go to far.

Sudbury to look for the White Stork is decided on. We find the paddock on Joe's road Sackers Green & spend an hour searching but we don't see any sign of the bird, so it's off to see if we can find any Stone Curlew at Cavenham Heath & we know we will get a year tick as we always find Woodlark there.

It takes only five minutes to spot two Stone Curlew out in the open to get great scope views of this funny bird.

As I said a few Woodlark are seen on both sides of the track a year tick for Jimmy & I.

On parking up we walk over the heath & find loads of Willow Warbler plus a few Stonechat & more Woodlark.

Then as we walk about in the sunshine we hear our first Cuckoo of the year & then get to see the bird not far away from us sitting in a tree always nice to see.

Santon Downham next up in search of Lesser- spotted Woodpecker, we hear a couple calling from both sides of the river but get no sighting of the bird but I do get a tick when a flock of Redpoll fly over. Nice to see Steve Grimwade & his party while here.
