Not jealous.  Not at all

I've had a few more since then :

First Cuckoo - I didn't hear it (obv.) - but the app did

Black woodpecker (we'd already had Green and Gr spotted)

and something called a Zitting Cisticola - which I have never even heard of !!!!!!

 

I'll keep you posted as more turn up - tell me when you get bored  !

Ah yes Mick - I should have looked it up in my Collins Guide before posting - mind you, I've never heard of a Fan-tailed Warbler either tbf !

 

Have you had any interesting/ unusuals where you are ?  

 

Waiting for the Hoopoe and the Turtle Doves - they should be in the next week or so.  Also saw a couple of Hen Harriers when driving down from the ferry on Friday - but not here yet.

And there no birds that only have French names? Things that aren't found in the UK.

The app is great for the shy birds, short toed tree creeper, firecrest and a couple of others.

Only had the app a few days, the wife is already sick of hearing about it!

I think the app just makes it up and tells you there is this and that out there . And it costs money . I think you are all being had ! ☺️

I think you could be right on the first point. 🤔

Not the second though; it's free to download. Or at least it was when I got it, I wouldn't have got if otherwise.
