Hairy Dragonfly and Cuckoos

The only birds of note this week have been two Cuckoos; the first a brief view of one which I flushed off the floor as a rounded a corner, and the second a heard only which seemed to move steadily to the east.

I had my first sightings of Hairy Dragonflies this week. On Thursday one was flying around a small pool by the Peter Scott hide before perching up to roost for the night on some bramble. The next day as I was walking past after closing the hides, I had a brief scan of the same bramble bush with my binoculars, and sure enough picked it up in exactly the same place.
