Report of GS Cuckoo at Giltar

A report received from Christine Jones of a Great Spotted Cuckoo at Giltar this afternoon together with photo :-



I was walking on Giltar point about 14.00 this afternoon with my dog watching skylarks and stonechats when I saw something large fly accross. it had a very long tail and unusal markings and was slightly smaller than a magpie, it landed in a bush and I saw it was a Great Spotted Cuckoo. I managed to get a picture before it flew off in the scrub behind and slighlty down the hill. I didn't have my phone with me.
 I noted the red eye pale grey crest an pale yellow throat

Standing at the sentry hut by the flagpole and looking towards Tenby it was in the bushes there.
