 From Michele Dreger's Beginners walk

 

Hi Peter-
Saw what Alex (Wilson) reported but also add Black Billed Cuckoo seen yesterday on Michele's beginners walk at the Lullwater Nethermead side path and today at the Lower Pool.  Most of the warblers were seen at the top of the Wellhouse Rd. near Nethermead and the Vale of Cashmere.
