A Photo of a beautiful Cuckoo in Spring at Linford Lakes.

Sainsbury's near the hub adjoining Skylark Heath is Protected by English Law, The RSPB made sure the place is protected, there's rare entomological life like the Sphinx Fly in at this place that needs protection from Bulldozers as well as Avian life. If the place was developed the rare Nightjar might make a comeback,

Back in the 1980s all around the lower half of the Central Milton Keynes these fantastic birds used to fly with their 'Churr' song, a magic sight to behold around near where the Police Station and Staples Buildings area was,

in Bradwell Common the rare Thrush the Wheatear and sometimes Bohemian Waxwings visit the place at the end of winter and for the Wheatear in the summer, attracted to the fruit and berries on the trees, its concerning Me that I did not see any Fieldfares and Redwings which make the trip from Scandinavia in the winter for Berrys.

The Great Crested Grebe is at Linford Lakes as well as Rarer Slavonian Grebes and there is the 'Great Sherman' Perch. Still swimming about in Linford Lakes also. Also White Egrets and the chance in the future for the rare Heron like Bird the Bittern with their Foghorn song.

Linford Lakes is a beauty spot that has to be protected from the interests of Land owners for its rare Fish the size of the lake means there is rare nutrients in the water for Avian and Underwater life, Water Skaters a rare Aqua-Entomological are abundant at this Lake also.

Rare Tree Sparrows have been seen as well as Black and Red Kites as well as rarer Falcons like Hobbys and Goshawks as well as Less Rare Kestrels and Sparrowhawks have been seen there. My Father and I visited the lake to go Birdwatching when I was a teenager and in the reeds We seen a Cuckoo, these beautiful birds need protecting.

It's puzzling why the place is 'with plans,' What Tufted Ducks, Pochards and Pintail Ducks as well!! Bit silly to build over it then. Also the Marle Inn is also a fantastic Venue for Live Bands, Liberated Musicians, Weddings, Banquets and Functions. Available for Hire at Competitive Rates. Also the Famous black Horse Pub near by that serves Excellent food, Pub Quizzes next to The Grand Union Canal next to nearby Great Linford. Linford Manor is the nearby Recording Studios that have had the Honour of Such bands like Jamiroquai, Skunk Anansie, Seven, Jimi and The Volcanos and Gary Numan record there. I also recorded a few tracks with The Moles back in the 90s there!!! ;-) 8-) ;-#
