After another mundane search of Soil Hill (2 Whitethroat) and Ogden Res I heard a Cuckoo call 5 times on the E side of the golf course.
Approx 25 minutes later a bird perched atop a small bush turned out to be a male Whinchat. Furthermore it let me take two photograph's before flying off.

Prior to this 4 House Martin had flown quickly over Ogden where 3 LBBG were on the drink.
2 Curlew were at Stod Fold but Hunter Hill bottom was quiet.

My final port of call was naturally Mixenden Res where once again the long staying Goldeneye pr are staying even longerer.
To cap the session 3 more distant Cuckoo calls were heard from the upper reaches of Hunter Hill. The same bird as previous methinks.
