    I last heard a cuckoo on 2nd June.  However, yesterday in the New Forest, Mrs WWD and I were reminded that some are still around when one shot across the heathland in front of us at speed, closely followed - just about within touching distance - by an agitated, small, brown bird, probably a pipit.

    I think the cuckoo will have been a female and possibly caught in the act of easing out an egg from the small, ground nesting bird's nest.

    Apparently, there used to be a belief that a young cuckoo, having been fully raised by its foster parents, would kill them before leaving the nest.  As far as I am aware, this isn't true.

    Had a week's cycling in Tuscany last month. I've never heard so many cuckoos as we did in the countryside there.

    The most common bird was the redstart though. Never see them here in East Yorkshire.

    Wout Van Aert is a superstar cyclist ... one of the highest paid in the world.

    Two days ago, he buried himself as a domestique to wind-shield his team-mate Simon Yates to overall victory up those mountains. 

    Yesterday, he buried himself as a lead-out man to enable his team-mate Olav Klooij win the sprint at  the final stage in Rome.

    If he has an ego, he keeps quiet about it.

    Seems like a really nice bloke too. We watched him win a Tour of Britain stage on Beverley Westwood a couple of years ago. He was really happy to chat to everybody afterwards and he was great with the young fans who wanted selfies with him.

    But what was del Toro doing? Weird. Great Stuff otherwise! 

    That really was weird. Seemed totally wrapped up in his battle with Carapaz and oblivious to the real threat even though he must have known what was happening.

    If we can sign a quality right centre, that backline will be as good as any in SL in another year or two. Pryce, Martin, Litten and Barron. All 22 and under, all British. Already quality players but with lots of improvement in them. There's pace, power, height, athleticism. Really exciting to watch as a Hull fan.

    We also have two great prospects at centre in Ryan Westerman and Roman Dawson.
