First Cuckoo

I heard a Cuckoo for the first time earlier this morning . It seems quite late this year but for me it is always a welcome sound after the winter

Re: First Cuckoo

There must have been half a dozen in our local woods over the last two weeks, last year we only heard one I think, but as you say Meg always a joy to hear them after the long winter days..

Re: First Cuckoo

That's marvellous - we haven't heard one for years

Re: First Cuckoo

I was really surprised to hear the first cuckoo at the end of March! Normally it's mid April before the first one appears, but this year I think it must be due to our having a very mild winter.

Re: First Cuckoo

I Heard my first one about 2 weeks ago and I've heard two more since.......lovely to hear them.

Re: First Cuckoo

How lovely I haven't heard one for years...

Re: First Cuckoo

That's funny Meg, we to heard our first Cuckoo this morning, we were pottering around in the garden and my Husband said, listen the Cuckoo.

Re: First Cuckoo

You are lucky you lot, I love to hear them but haven't heard a single one yet.

Re: First Cuckoo

Tricky blighters to get a photo of, only managed it once. Used to see them at regular sites, but cant get there now so i need one to turn up on passage at my coastal patch.

Re: First Cuckoo

I have just been to Dartmoor for a few days - heard a couple calling to each other and saw one fly overhead. I haven't heard one for a couple of years.
