The Cuckoo serenaded us!

Today started bright and sunny but my this afternoon it had cloudy over and was rather humid. This also meant that the flys were out and being a nusisance to both humans and dogs. We alked at Slufters Pond but avoided the ponds as I had treated Raffles and Missy with Frontline as the warmer weather has also brought the ticks out!
As we walked a Cuckoo was calling us and several times we saw him pass overhead but to high and quick for the camera. A group of fallow does were also keeping an eye on us ,ready to bound off if they felt threatened.
On my drive up to the forest I saw several foals and also a Heron fishing in Janesmoor pond. I didn't have time to stop and take photos, but maybe another day.
