As regular CFZ-watchers will know, for some time Corinna has been doing a column for Animals & Men and a regular segment on On The Track... particularly about out-of-place birds and rare vagrants. There seem to be more and more bird stories from all over the world hitting the news these days so, to make room for them all - and to give them all equal and worthy coverage - she has set up this new blog to cover all things feathery and Fortean.

THREATENED BIRD SPECIES: RSPB and Exmoor National Park Authority want to hear of any cuckoo calls

By Western Daily Press | Posted: April 03, 2014

Anyone hearing the evocative call of the cuckoo on Exmoor should let Exmoor National Park Authority and the RSPB know. Helen Booker from the RSPB said: "We are very concerned about the cuckoo; it is a bird that is under threat. Exmoor would appear to be an important habitat for them and we would really value any records of them." Simply go on line to the Wildwatch website, or ring the National Park Centre in Lynmouth on 01598 752509. Traditionally good places to hear cuckoos on Exmoor include Croydon Hill, Alcombe Common, Ley Hill and Webber's Post.
